Do you hear how backwards that is? You don't consider emailing her as "too demanding" even though it has more potential to be imposing on her private time, but you feel using your arranged session time as the proper time for asking for what you need as "too demanding". Your thinking about this is kind of backwards. You would be much less "demanding" to use your session time to it fullest than to consistently use email outside of session time to ask for connection and input. Perhaps you can work on flipping that around so things are in their proper place for you.
