Former T let me email a lot and she emailed me back quite a bit. At times it was therapeutic but it was also pure agony waiting for her response, which sometimes never came. Regular T (current T) doesn't email but she does text, though we have never had a long text session. And it's not quite as traumatic waiting for the reply because I'm not getting into deep stuff that way. Pastor T emailed occasionally but I found that he responded pretty fast each time so I didn't have that agonizing wait.


All that to say, it is very difficult waiting for a response, especially in a time of deep pain or hurting. But even just generally. And then IMO, the response wasn't usually enough and didn't quell the fears or soothe the hurt enough. It helped but it was just like a bandaid.


I have discovered I do better not being able to email.
