This helped keep the connection during the 6 day gap. We also made sure to define the boundaries around this arrangement. The emails were not an appropriate place for therapy to occur, so I kept that in mind and the content was just updates about my activities and feelings, as well as reflections about our previous session. Also, it was important for me to know that if she didn’t happen to write back every once in awhile, it wasn’t because I had written something “bad” or that she was angry at me — it was probably because she got extra busy or something else came up.
Maybe you could talk with your T about making some sort of compromise like this?

Thank you for the idea. It's something for me to consider and bring up next session.
