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.
I pay my therapist ALOT of money. She should answer all of my emails and texts unless and until she says stop. 660$/week out of pocket!
$ = service
