my t said something last time about how he would sort out his email accounts and that we could email each other over his break. he said a couple of other things... i think he has been reading about email therapy and has come around to the idea. i guess different therapists feel differently about it. some probably aren't all that computer competent (in which case typing might well be a time consuming exercise). others probably aren't used to communicating in that way (and they feel more comfortable over the phone). i much prefer emailing to talking over the phone though. i hope it works out okay for him too. i guess there is the security issue too. hard to find the appropriate balance between being careful and being paranoid.

i've been wondering whether gmail chat could be used or if that would be a bad idea... not sure.
