With my previous T, she mentioned that I used e-mail as a form of distancing myself from my emotions/I wasn't able to share in session (true), so she didn't actually say I shouldn't email, but I tried to email less. It never really got better (the ability to open up), so I eventually quit seeing that T.

With my current T (I've seen her for a year and a half), I was also worried that the email would be an issue with her. It took her many months to convince me that e-mailing her is okay, and not a burden to her at all. Just recently I wrote two emails in two days and felt like it was overkill, and apologized. She wrote back that she likes reading my writing, and to keep at it.

Also, I have always been able to be more open with this T than my previous, and am able to talk about what I bring up in email (she also prompts much more, and that is easier for me).
