I only use email. She doesn't text and I hate the phone. I should probably talk about that in therapy. Lol. I email her if I'm feeling bad and can't get out of a funk. Or if something happens that triggers me. Or if I'm stressed and just need to word vomit. It's more like journaling because most times I know she won't respond. She will if I ask, but I try not to unless I really need it. Usually when I've been triggered and can't ground myself. She will also use her clinical judgement if she thinks she should respond even if I don't ask. But that's far fewer.

I was very hesitant to start emailing her, but I'm much more comfortable now.
