I carry a load of 350-400 students, and if I had even 6 students e-mailing me as much as you say you do, that would add hours of work to my day. Just having students e-mail and neglect to put their name or topic in the header, causes 10-30 minutes of extra time that I usually don't have in my workday.
Leah, forgive me, but you have a thread agonizing about being way over your therapy budget because of unlimited contact with your T. It appears that neither of you exercise the kind of control necessary to avoid creating this problem. I don't see that as benign.

She only teaches one class (this one), so it works for her - she told us all at the beginning of the year to
please email her if we have any questions or if we have ideas for the next class or want to share something. It's a really interactive seminar course, so if a student sends her a short video clip related to the topic we're discussing, she'll show it in our next class or she'll email it out to all the students.
I think it's different in a small setting like that when you know all your students; like in my one class with 1500 people, you email the professor when you need his permission to reschedule a test with test and exam services, and you put your name and the topic in the subject heading, and you wait 4-5 days for a response. That's standard.
