I know! The first time he sent a long reply, I was like "whoaaa..." This is why I'm OK paying for the handful of longer ones--because he writes so much and clearly takes the time with them. (Shorter ones--like if he just replies with a few sentences--are free.)

Thanks! Sometimes I think maybe I'm being *too honest*, but like I've said to him, if I don't feel like I can be honest in there, then where can I be? And he's honest right back, which is both good and bad...

About a month or so ago, I got really upset and angry at my T bc she cancelled a session on Monday in an email on a Friday night--but as a "PS: BTW, I have to cancel" I was not sober when I read that email and spiraled down, quickly.
I have been writing in myjournal and bringing it in for her to read, and while I did write about that incident in my journal, I just wrote that I was really upset. I did not tell her I was angry. Who knows if I ever will. I also know it was an extreme overreaction, so I felt less compelled to tell her my over-reacting feelings.
But that is small potatoes compared to what you talk about!

I remember that. It's still good you were able to tell her you were upset. And I likely would have reacted the same way to such an e-mail. I do still have trouble telling people I'm angry at them. Even when being so open with current T, I don't think I've really shared anger with him, or at least not labeled it in that way.
