Does your T respond to your emails? What understandings do you have around emailing already? Maybe acknowledging that there are some boundaries already in place may ease your mind around emailing her. It might also allow you to see how your T takes care of herself in this area of your relationship with her.

I can say that even though my frequency of emailing her is more now than it was a 1-1.5 years ago; my stress over getting a reply is significantly less. I used to be one of those people that stressed about how soon a reply would come, what would be said in the reply and so on. Now I know a reply will come and I can almost write the reply for her. I think this is part of it for me, if I can write her reply, what am I gaining or hoping for from emailing her that I can't give myself. I think about that often before I send the email. I still write lots of emails that sit as drafts and I journal to her usually multiple times a day.
she doesn't reply and i never expected her to, wouldn't want for her to do it for free but i did suggest paying for a reply. and she said it doesn't work like that very briefly this was over a year ago though and emailing wasn't much of an issue. i have so many draft emails and 90% of them are not impulsive.
