My T keeps reiterating to me how she won't always respond to emails - she feels that if she makes that a rule, then she could end up resenting it later. This would harm me and our relationship. Although today she said that she had neglected bringing them into session and that we needed to start doing that. She also prefers that I contain things in session so we can work through them better instead of acting out the way I do with email. Try not to worry about the email. And do bring the need for your T into the next session if you can. It sounds like an important issue to deal with right now. (And you're not bad for feeling needy towards your T. A lot of us have gone through and continue to go through that scenario. drummergrl is right though - she is a T not a friend and the relationship is a professional one, though of a different sort than you'll experience anywhere else.)
Hang in there.
