I have. T and I emailed a lot about what was happening. Usually I could tell her what I was feeling but rgwew were times I can express myself in writing better than verbally. Of it was something short I could bring it in and read it. However usually if I was at that point it was long. In that case she referred that I email them so she could print it out and read it a few times then bring it to my appointment. For her it was better if she could process it slowly. Again since this only happened when things were really bad so it made sense.

With Emdr T things are really different. A few years ago I wrote my story for a religious group I was attending. T thought it would be beneficial for me to being it for Emdr T to read as it gave a good overview of my life. Faith and showed emotion. EMDR T agreed but I should read it to her so I did. It was hard but nice. She was very supportive and compassionate. Plus it allowed us to connect a bit because she practices the same religion I do. Before that point I knew her religion but not how deep she is into it.

Only other time was when I was reall frustrated last fall and in a bad place. She doesnt do email so I printed it out and brought it on. She asked if I wanted to read it. When I told her I preferred she read and then we could discuss it. It worked well. She did ask after the first paragraph if she could respond to it or did she need to wait. I asked her to wait and then we discussed it.
