There were a LOT of things easier for me to write than to say.. many times after leaving therapy, I'd have epiphanies that I just *had* to share with her. She has loved getting between-session emails from me (or, so she says). The deal is, though, that I can write her as much as I want, but only if I don't expect a reply. Sometimes she has 'replied,' but usually by calling me. If I wrote and she determined my state of mind was deteriorating too far, she has called me.

So, it's been a good experience for me. I should probably clarify, though, that I don't write her like I'd write a friend. I never write about newsy-type things. It's always about my therapy-oriented thoughts and feelings.
