tantrum on paper

Well I shared it with her and she did not say one thing about it!!!!!!!!!! We did laugh when I said some people responded that they had an actual tantrum in the office. Then she was off to the next point. I showed her one on paper from last fall with ugly crayon pics to go along with it and she said "Oh- Well" and moved on to her next point. I am just a little confused here. HMM-No reaction. Just like an adult letting a child have a tantrum and ignoring it. It helps me, so I may keep on doing it, but maybe I wont share it with her. I may use my words next time. Maybe that is the point.

Email is generally not on a secure server. Deleting may be to maintain confidentiality. That would be one guess. Ask.

I would assume confidentiality, too--accounts get hacked all the time, and saved e-mails would then be available to anyone else. I'd think that his deleting them actually shows how much he values you and your safety in therapy. However, it's important, as Stumpy says, to talk about this with him! Perhaps it is important to know if he makes note of your emails in his own notes, so that you can be assured that he is hearing you.

I am actually relieved that he deletes them. I think it shows how professional he is as well. I am not sure if he takes notes, I am afraid to bring it up again. He does however respond immediately to important issues, and brings up other issues in session, and assures me he reads all of them.

That one I see prints them out. I assume they get deleted from email but whether they are kept in a file or thrown away, I do not know.
