My psychiatrist takes emails but does not respond. My therapist started taking them after she found out I wrote him. Sometimes my therapist will respond with a good for you or a hang in there, but she also worries about privacy. So if I send the email that's ok because it's my choice about privacy - but not for her. My psychiatrist is too busy to respond, but does read them. He says to call, too.

I am actually glad my T doesn't allow e-mails, because I think I might be tempted to use it instead of learning to express my deepest thoughts outloud with him in session.

My problem with the above is that I'm a slow to respond. It usually takes a little time for something to sink in before I have a reaction to it. Although, I agree it would behoove me to learn to express deeper things in session and not hide behind the words. Guess I should have a second session a few hours after the first, huh?
