But is the risk of being vulnerable worse than how you feel now?
Yes he typically responds to emails, but I’m worried he’s feeling like I should stop. It came up once (after I asked) that I’m his only client who emails about things other than appointments so I feel pretty guilty about that. I should be able to get by without reassurance and I actually know I can, but it’s just nice.
