Being able to e-mail my T has been very beneficial for me because I have a horrible time being able to talk in person. I always feel bad for wasting his time, etc., but he assures me he doesn't mind at all. At first, I felt bad if I didn't get a reply right away, but now I tell him not to - just to save it for our next meeting. But, he usually responds anyway, nothing long, just enough to make me feel like someone is listening. E-mailing also lets me get something out when it happens and I am less likely to chicken out as I do in person. I e-mail almost daily. So, really, it's an individual thing. It makes me feel better and if your therapist didn't like it or it got to be too much, I am SURE she would tell you.
FEEL BETTER!
Is anyone else a failure at therapy?? Can't talk...
