My T doesn't allow email. She's very wise in that regard. If she did I would probably send her book length tracts each week - multiple tracts. I woudn't be able to help myself.

With texting, it's like tweeting on Twitter. You have only a few words to express the essence of the emotion or thought. It's actually a nice way to distill the feelings.

So, I wouldn't say it lands in the category of much communication but just offer T hints of what I'm going through.

I do bring in things I've written because I can convey my feelings better in that mode of expression. But I also realize the writings are a 'report' and do not engage my emotions as much as when she and I have in-depth conversation. So, I do understand the limits of writing and I agree with those T's who discourage too much of it.

But, in session only once have I had a small experience of mutism. Normally I am self-propelled and T hardly had a chance to say anything.

It's just that the texts I send reflect an intense emotion felt at that particular moment and T gets to know about it.
