the idea that a therapist is somehow less able to deal with such things than any other professional baffles me.

I'm not saying they're uniquely incapable. Just that I would find it tiring (I used to teach myself) and I imagine some of them do, too, especially if the messages they're getting are very emotionally heavy and urgent all the time. If you do fine with that sort of thing, hey great for you.
Heck, I'd find it tiring if I were the one emailing my T. So I'm glad I don't. I like my T in session, I don't need him in the rest of my life.
