E-mails to T are inappropriate. Face-to-face communication is most therapeutic. You might consider talking with your T as to why you prefer e-mails and what you are avoiding by bring your concerns...etc to the next session. Ask for T to help you to develop healthy coping mechanisms between sessions. I suggest you reach out to your support system of friends, family, and a support group.

You see my pdoc who was my therapist until recently, always took my emails and answered them. Now she has had a baby and is back from leave of absence and also promoted to medical director of the clinic. All of a sudden she responds with "have read this, if you need to discuss anything before our next visit, please call me" a stock answer now to anything I bring up in e-mail; so I get the message: "don't send me e-mails".

It was a connection to me that was important; see I have very bad social anxiety especially with this pdoc. My psychologist is easier to talk with but I still express myself better and think better with the e-mails. So sorry, Pilatus but I respectfully disagree with you on this. I rarely send more than a couple sentences and never more than 1 or 2 between sessions.

We are all different. Maybe you have an amazing ability to communicate face to face, I don't. I am full of shame and yes we are exploring this (my psychologist and I) but in the meantime I feel sort of lost at sea when the pdoc lets me know by one answer fits all responses to me. I am hurt. Sorry I guess it is a big weakness with me.
