Also I kinda promised to bring up in session what ever I wrote to keep the intensity in the sessions

Could this be an option?
I like the way this has been handled by you and your T. I do not need a substantive response, but getting no response is also a bummer. I think I’d be ok with a one sentence response, but I think my T would ask what the purpose of the response would be, and I’m not exactly sure, except that it’s nice to be acknowledged. Do you feel like the brief response you get from your T is satisfying? Or is it equivalent to getting no response?

I also like the idea of making myself bring up in session what I’ve said in an email. This has historically been tough for me, but I think it’s the right thing to do.
