I write in my journal a lot and the journal "holds" my thoughts and feelings for me. I have only called my T a couple of times, usually about appointment changes. We do email but the exchanges are very brief. I do not email him long messages with my thoughts and feelings about problematic issues. That's all the good stuff I want to save for therapy! How about if you compose emails to your T, just as you usually would, but just don't send them. Instead, paste those never-sent emails into your journal. Right before your session, you can review all your emails to help you remember all that you have been through in the last week. Then you will arrive at therapy with tons of stuff to share. Easier said than done, I know.
