I gave up on emails awhile ago. Non-responses too hurtful. I just don't understand the secrecy of it all? Why can't a T just say, "I set boundaries for specific reasons (and state them). If you feel you must email me, please make sure it's for appointment changes or real emergencies." I think this would be clear and avoid painful feelings for the client. Or, is it part of the therapy procedure to have the client suffer for the grievance effect? If this is the case, tell the client, " I need you to grieve it's good for you! Email away until you can't take it anymore, it's part of the healing process "
