I wouldn't want to be afraid of crossing one of his boundaries....there seem to be many! ..I wouldn't want to do it to people-please him. He would need to clearly explain his request and how it would benefit me.
Oh, sorry I probably wasn't clear. He was asking me today why I didn't just "write down" what was bothering me and bring it next time? I told him that in this case on that particular day, writing things down would make things worse, make me dwell on stuff more. I told him that I am tired of dealing with my pain alone and short of stuffing things away, that interaction with an actual person is the only effective coping strategy for me right now.

That's when he tentatively offered the email thing.
