I find the email thing incredibly stressful...waiting and hoping for a response, but not knowing when or if one is going to come. Logically I know that if the therapist doesn't respond it probably isn't about me, but it never feels that way. So I just almost never email.

I got down to about once every six weeks with my long term therapist. I was doing well and I just didn't have that much to talk about. But I always knew that I could ask her for an extra session and she'd give me one. That helped, even though I didn't use it much. I just felt ready to cut down. It would have been harder if I hadn't felt ready.

The only thing I can suggest is that you tell her how you are feeling about less contact. Maybe just having her reassure you that it isn't because you did something wrong that she is reducing contact will help.
