If I understand you correctly, you are able to email your pdoc after the fact? Maybe write a practice email and don't send it? I don't know. I've done this many, many times when I am sending something that I know is triggering for me or that I know I am emotional about. If I write it, then save it for a few hours and come back to it and read it over I am able to look at it a little more objectively. It doesn't work perfectly but it is so much better than writing and sending something while I'm emotional. |
Most times I will drop off a hard copy for my pdoc but my act worker and an occupational therapist get the copy emailed to them. The weeks I don't get to the art group with the OT, I will email my pdoc the writing sometimes I send/give her two writings in a week.
Not so much anymore just once a week but it can be up to 4 pages. We than go over things that I have written about, I highlight what I think is important to talk about.
I realize that I am impulsive because most times I will sit on the writing for days but I rarely change what I have written I think it is important to show how emotional I was at the time. Maybe that is wrong, I don't know.
