By learning new ways to cope into ground yourself when you are stressed to the max you'll eventually be able to calm yourself and not have to send so many emails.
Sometimes wonder if therapist who allow all of the excess outside contact get a high from having their clients dependent on them, or if they simply don't have any other tools to teach their clients to live independently. From reading these boards it appears that many therapists enable an unhealthy dependency on them. This doesn't help the client deal with everyday life on their own which ultimately should be the goal of therapy.
Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope your stressors will start to subside this year.

I think the high is mutual, because I get intense pleasure from knowing there is this person who knows my most inner thoughts. Its one of those that I don't really want to learn other techniques. its like an addiction you dont want to quit! it took me forever to get to the point where I am and the idea of being able to talk about whats really going on and not do the quick, 'im fine, how are you' version of evets is my high. When you hold so much in for years and there is this person who reads all the nonsense, all the very intense accounts of whats going on in your life you dont want it to stop!
I just wish she would send the bouderies and tell me when enough is enough
