I can relate to wanting my Prev T to be my mom or sister...and starting to feel the mom connection to Present T.

I can also relate to email frustrations with PresentT.
She does not email patients at all...but she was nice enough to explain. She also teaches at a University and says 1) she wants to keep student emails separate from patients, 2) she is concerned that her email may not be confidential, 3) she feels she has too many emails 4) this last one is my opinion: she doesn't seem too experienced with computers. Another poster brought up the good point about T's may not be getting reimbursed or have a fee plan for emails. My T does allow phone calls and snail mail. I am not used to her voice mail yet. My impression is that it doesn't record very long.

I know I would be able to express and reveal more to her via email and voice mail. But I understand her boundary and will deal.

Random: Present T is going to be away a few weeks around July 4th. I'm glad for her. She's tired, I can see it. She admits it. But I'm anxious for me. We've decided I can write to her or leave a phone message while she is gone to help me maintain the feeling of connection. I know she will not read mail or hear messages until she returns. She has someone on call for her while she is away. I also have you guys!

Things for me to think about.
