Yep. My T realized early on that I am much better at expressing myself through words than in person (in which i curl into a ball and am barely responsive). She has always encouraged e-mails, and now I have started taking in my journal entries for her to read. She always reads my emails, but says she can't always respond, and then we don't discuss whatever it is I e-mailed about.
It is frightenting to have her read my journal entries (and it is a new thing), but I know she needs to know my "real" thoughts, so I am continuing to do it despite the anxiety.
I bet your T will welcome written thoughts, as it seems many T's understand that it is easier to write stuff down than speak them.
