I'm don't have issues that require weekly sessions and I'm asking too much."
I can't imagine telling her all that. We've never talked about anything between us the way some people say they discuss the T relationship. Maybe mine doesn't believe in such thing. Maybe were not supposed to have a relationship at all.
There's just so much that comes across my mind that I can't open my mouth about. I never did tell her I lied to her (fretted about it in a post a few weeks ago). I feel like I'm failing at therapy because I'm clearly no good at any of this

No, I don't think you're "failing at therapy" - I think you just need to bring up these things that are bothering you. I think anything that you give a lot of thought to between sessions, or obsess over, is eligible for T time.
You really have no idea what she was thinking when she wrote the email. How could anyone? This is bothering you, so bring it up. Tell her just what you put in your post. Give her a chance to tell you her side. Discuss it. Then it will be resolved and you can stop thinking about it. Lather, rinse, repeat.
