I agree with your T that it is best to discuss important concerns and feelings in person. "Face to face" is so important to therapy. It sure does hurt though, when the T changes the "rules" on us, especially when you feel you didn't abuse his generosity in the past with frequent emails. I hope you will be able to adjust without too much pain to the new system. I only email my T about scheduling. I'm not sure he has a rule about it, but this is how it works for us. We have really deep sessions, though--there can be a lot of intensity. I think email therapy would feel really unsatisfactory in comparison.
