maybe make yourself a goal of every other, than 3x a week then 2 etc. i have been able to cut back drastically myself by creating my own goals
that being said, i have no idea why she is not responding but maybe she is trying to be nice and is overwhelmed by them now. no idea.

I emailed my therapist every day for a long time - it was like a daily practice, and I found the ritual aspect of it very helpful. It helped me get through an extraordinarily difficult time in my life. I was very specific about telling my therapist I didn't need a reply. I don't need to do it as much now so I just do it a few times a week. But this is totally my choice.
I don't think it's needy or clingy, but even if it were, I don't think that matters in therapy. I think it's important to do things that are helpful for oneself.
