Emails and written word can be so misconstrued. I recently emailed something to my T, She didn't respond as I had asked her not to and I had said we would deal with it in session. I was not prepared for how terrible and vulnerable I felt with that email out there and worse, i couldn't discuss it for 2 weeks. T's do not want to enter into a discussion and have you ever muisconstrue what they say or feel terrible and have no place to put that for a week.

In addition most T's don't get paid for this and although it's not always money related I think if every client sent an email nothing would get done.

My T will let me email and then we take up those emails in session later. There is no expectation on my part for acknowledgement or response. This seems to work as I get my immediate feelings out, I feel like I have contact AND I'm not asking her to do anything outside of her paid role.
Thanks for this!
