I am going to force myself to not email my T until the next session to see if she noticed that I didnt and ask why I didnt. Although, I am planning on opening up more next session because lately ive been gaining more trust and safety with my T, finally after nearly 2 years. I just hope things get easier. I had no clue opening up would ever be this hard!

How will you feel if she doesn't ask? Do you think that you might then conclude that she doesn't really want you to email? Why not try experimenting by emailing and seeing how that works for you, if you think it might help you make progress?
I always think that my therapist just wants me to make progress. We're a team, and our joint goal is for me to strengthen myself to deal with everything better. I email him, because it helps me. He is happy to read it, because he is wishing me well and trying to understand better how to help me.
