Today I brought a typed letter to my session, as it helps me open up more. My T tried to convince me to leave it with her, which is the third time she has asked and I have turned it down. When I expressed worry, she said "I just don't think we had time to get to everything today" (it was a long letter). I explained the letter wasn't written with the intent for her to see- it was vague and wasn't what I would consider coherent enough for her eyes because they're more like notes. I feel like I'd want to edit/perfect my letter before giving it to her.

Anyway, I feel bad that I've refused her three times now. Should I edit my letter and e-mail it to her as an attachment?
Here are my particular circumstances:
-She has strong boundaries.
-She e-mailed me for the first time last week to send me a research article, and didn't put anything else in the e-mail except for the link.
-My T and I have never really talked about e-mailing. She mentioned once months ago that perhaps we could start, but we didn't talk about the "rules" about that, and what that would mean.
-I won't see my T for a month, so if it crosses her boundaries, I can't rectify it for a long time.

Do you think I should, or does it sound like I'd better wait until I'm clear on what her boundaries are in terms of e-mailing? Has anyone ever e-mailed and had it backfire?
