I think sometimes T's don't want to even touch the more serious, vulnerable emails because they fear a miscommunication, and when we are vulnerable or upset we might be more likely to misread something. So my guess is, they just say "Let's talk about this in person" because they are more sure they can be helpful. Smaller things are safer to reply to more fully, perhaps. But for us, when we lay a lot out there, it would be nice to get a very kind reply.

I also have had a self-protective response to a disappointing email, where a part of me feels annoyed or defensive and so I kind of refuse to think about therapy as much. It's like a pulling away because of disappointment. Which in a way can be kind of a relief, if you find yourself obsessing about therapy less.
