I email my T about every 3 werks. I’m actually much more open, honest and vulnerable in emails than I am in person and I can say things that I could never say to his face. My T says eventually with time i’ll be able to be this way in person too. I have always been good, reliable and a rule-follower, but to my surprise I sent my T a super angry email last weekend basically attacking his ability as a therapist as well as his rule about not responding to emails on weekends. I later sent an apology email and when we met in person he was incredibly nice about it. During our session though, I was surprised to learn that none of his other clients email him except to discuss scheduling issues. I cried when he told me this (I’m not a crier) I think because I felt bad for being so different from everyone else. I mean, I had just sent an angry email rant, and none of his other clients do this apparently despite the fact that he’s been in practice for 30 years! Does this seem odd to anyone? Do you send emotional emails to your T? Am I odd for doing this? Is this a sign that he might not be experienced in seeing people like me?
