i have been thinking about doing the exact same thing, i could write a few thousand words trying to explain my situation since i have a hard time talking, i just wasn't sure if it was frowned upon or not because i know they like to analyze? us? i have an apt today so i will ask her if she wouldn't mind a letter - its much easier to speak from within in text for me, i seem to be a different person on the outside when having to socially interact, thanks for this post; i think you should share the letters with your T, if you feel comfortable doing so.. and to me when ever i write i always re-read it and think that its stupid, or that its silly and doesnt make sense, but i just try to push that aside and let myself know that is the dark side of me trying to hide and the light side of me wants help

im going to ask mine first if she would be ok/interested in letters, maybe you could do the same before giving them to her? they know i take a ton of notes, but they have never requested/wanted to look at them... so what im going to do is write a paper up and ask them if they would be interested in it before i tell them i have it completed, just so i dont get too anxious.. letters are a good way to get a message across in my opinion

i wish you best of luck

btw i asked if they had an email i could contact them at since i have a hard time with telephones and they said they only recently got the internet? is it common practice to be able to email your therapist? im not interested in bombing them with emails but only in writing my true concerns since i cant "say" them
