If it weren't for the email, I'd be stuck with "I don't know". So she usually pulls up my email from her phone, goes through the topics, and I pick one. We don't talk about them all, but it lets her know what I'm dealing with, and she can get a feel for what's more important.

However, with us, she tends to ignore most of the SUI stuff. I guess because it's been there for so long, and I'm not usually in a crisis. So hopefully if you do need help with your SUI things, your T will put those concerns first.

And if you can't do email: write a list like others have suggested. Just a bullet point summarizing the topic/issue. Then give it to your T.
Email is part of the issue right now. She is found through some major life changes. She sold her house and is moving of state. She will contorted her practice here but
Cutting down the number of days she works and cutting down the number of clients she sees. She also lost a close loved one over the weekend. The last thing she needs is to deal with any of my issues outside of sessions. So while we have always emailed between sessions when I am struggling and I have messaged her asking her to bring up topics, I really don't think it is appropriate right now.
