I communicate often with my online therapist. We have two scheduled sessions a week, but sometimes communicate almost daily for special issues through paid email sessions or impromptu chat sessions online as well.

The primary issues I'm working on are improving my parenting, partly by working through day to day issues and partly by working through post traumatic stress disorder, resulting from childhood abuse and neglect. I am making a lot of progress and I believe that my therapist enjoys working with me and that we have a fairly solid, intense, therapeutic relationship. I've been seeing her about 5 months now.

However, I feel more self-conscious lately, not sure why, and I am really worried that I'm telling her too much. I'm a writer and it's easy for me to write long essays about my process and things going on in my life. Last night, gosh, I wrote her almost 1400 words, which is like, well, to give you context, this post is going to be about 250 words.

She tells me she does not mind. She tells me I won't be "too much" for her and that if I am, she will let me know, and we'll work through it. When I ask her if she's tired of me or all the work, she says "not at all" that she cares for me and we are okay. And of course, I do pay pretty her well for all her time, for each email session.

Do you all think I should give up on worrying about this, or give up on writing so much? This week, I've been in a crisis, so... that might be relevant.
