My T allows emails between sessions. I always email her the same evening after my session. I do this because it helps me in processing what we talked about. My T always responds,usually the next morning. She is consistent. I am fully aware that she does not do therapy via email. Her responses are usually two or three sentences. But for me, and I only speak for me; this is helpful. It helps me feel connected to T. It reminds me that there are people in my life who will be consistent. I feel secure. I have only been in therapy for six months so perhaps down the road I won't feel the need to email her. Time will tell.
