This may seem dramatic. I'm so up and down about feelings for T. I love him then I find myself calling him an ***** under my breath. No matter the feelings, I'm super attached, and if I could live in a room with a laptop and spend all day emailing him I might do it. My emailing him has become excessive lately, though he insists its not as much as some clients he has had. Nonetheless, *I* am uncomfortable with it, especially because I got a bit nasty with my tone in a few. It's not like me. But also, I nitpick and de-code every last word and punctuation mark or LACK of punctuation mark and make myself crazy. Which is why I need to stop the emailing. So we decided to try, for this week, no contact. It's a short week (5 days) and I'm on day 2 and going out of my skin. I hate hate hate feeling this needy. Make it stop!!! Is this all just me acting out 40 years too late, the anger and frustration I felt when my father left? The human brain is so weird.

Has anyone had success weaning themselves off email contact while maintaining a good therapeutic relationship?
