I agree with ElectricManatee. I've sent my former T emails saying I feel like doing SH but I'm talking to you instead. My T usually responded to those emails and was positive about it. I don't think it's wrong to recognize that you want attention and asking for the attention outright is better than going about it in negative ways in my opinion. Your T can help you walk through why you want attention.
