I also think T gave me too much advice last week. It may help or backfire. I will probably start out sitting up very straight! I know what I want. The truth from her about how I look so I can will not be confused anymore. Then to talk about my Mom and that anatomy stuff.
It would never be my idea not to email! She wanted to see if I could journal or post here or talk to a friend instead of emailing her right after my session to process it. I told her no but thought I would try. I have to ask if other emailing is okay. She still says email is fine, but our goal is not to have to do it, at least the processing part. I have to leave for my appointment in about 15 minutes and am getting super scared!!!

Glad I could help and hope your appointment went well!
Out of curiosity, why doesn't she want you to e-mail processing your session? Do you expect a long response from her? My T realizes that I process a lot by writing (and also in the drive home from therapy), so it helps me to type out an e-mail to her afterward (and often after a marriage counseling session, too). I'm sure I drive her nuts with the length of some of my e-mails, but she seems OK with it. She doesn't generally respond (on occasion she does, like to say I had some good insight), but we'll discuss it next session, assuming I want to. She said she has another client who does the same. Plus T and I both have English degrees, so I think she gets where I'm coming from with the processing through writing.
