Maybe a better approach would be to tell your therapist: “I don’t think emailing is helpful to me, and I would really like your help to stop.” If you truly don’t want to email him anymore, perhaps an accountability partner might help?
I’m sure you and your therapist could analyze the email situation ad neaseum, but it might be empowering to gain control over this one aspect of your therapy. It sounds like everything around emailing him is torturous.
