I tend to feel that way a lot. And I can relate to wanting to expresses my worries outside myself. With my last t, I was able to write to her on a private blog between sessions. I could write as much off as little as I needed to, and she would read as she had time. We only ever discussed it in session, and I was expected to call her if there was anything pressing that I needed to address between sessions. It worked out well because I have trouble reaching out even if invited to do so. I tend to feel like a bother.

I think other have brought up a good point:ask outright if the messages are too much. Her sigh may have been just a breath, or an acknowledgement of how tough things seem to be for you this week. Sometimes reality checks are a good idea. I try to do that with peOple in general (not just my t) because I know I often interpret things incorrectly. (Hugs)
