I did ask sub T last session if she would let me communicate by email. That was after I had read her the email I sent to my regular T (in which I asked her not to reply and she didn't. Thankfully, because I would have felt guilty.)

Sub T said that emails don't provide the level of confidentiality that is required for therapy. She said I could sign a waiver and then it would be o.k. She also stated that texts offer a bit more protection in confidentiality.

She suggested I write her and mail the letter or read it in session. So I wrote a few pages and delivered it to her office. She comes to office only 2 days per week and I didn't want to wait for her to have received it a week later. (yeah, we get used to the immediacy of email.)

An interesting thing transpired by writing and printing my message. I felt more freedom to 'talk' a lot. And, for some reason, it didn't feel as intrusive to T as an email or text would.

AND, the writing helped me process some emotions.

So, maybe I'll write, print, and hand-deliver (either before session or read during session) in the future.

Has anybody else had such an experience?
