My T doesn't like email, but he hasn't said that I couldn't send them. He said that there is so much more to communication than the written word and too much gets lost - tone, body language, posture, etc. Written words can be misunderstood, taken out of context. He said talking on the phone is better than writing, but still not ideal. He would much rather me ask for an extra session if I needed it. I sometimes wonder if that's just because he'd be paid for spending time on me.

As much as he dislikes email, he does let me send them...and I do send them on occasion, usually in crisis. He even acknowledged in my last go-round that he knows that my emails are to alert him that I am in distress. He knows that I struggle with talking when it's difficult stuff. Somehow my emotions were better able to go from my body to my fingertips without being filtered through my brain. And that was helpful in order to make him aware of what I was enduring without having to talk. Unfortunately, I am no longer writing like I used to...so much more is bottled up now. Ack.

Any-hoo...
