The same thing with email - write as much as you want and the therapist can say when or if they will respond.
If the clarification works for you then good, but I would find the therapist was making things unnecessarily complicated.

Yeah, but your method of doing things that way doesn't give you a chance to enforce your boundaries, which seems to be a popular fetish of therapists. The notion of just keeping their boundaries without lecturing clients like small children seems foreign to a lot of them.
