My T has been pretty responsive/supportive lately to my emails.
I have been writing him in a poetic fashion which I think he likes.
He thinks I write well. Some of our exchanges have been intimate,
not in a sexual way but definately a transference tone to my writing.

Yet, when we are in session, he never brings up our emails. I have
touched upon this a couple of times and he skirts around it. Doesn't
respond to me. Yet, some of our exchanges have been pretty powerful,
and worthy of discussing in session.

I sense he feels he gets too close to me sometimes in his emails if this is
possible. I'm puzzled. I'm OK about letting them be. I love his support
and responsiveness and don't want to do anything to risk him withdrawing it.

Just puzzled though why he does this?

You may very well be sensing correctly, keep that antennae up! Mine would save every hostile/intimate or otherwise provocative voice and emails and read/play them back to me at the next session.

Hopelesspoppy is right Massimo, you should trust your instinct. Something doesn't sound right about this set up to me. Can you tell us a little more about the kind of intimate things your t says?
It could all be innocent but usually if we get a feeling about something it is a warning and we should trust it

Is it possible that your T is trying to get you to feel whatever comes up in the moment of the sessions? And by going over emails that have been responded to maybe wouldn't move you forward or working with present feelings, issues, etc

Precious things, Yes I think you are right.

I would just hope that it doesn't start to feel like two different relationships - that it all feels continuous. My T brings up the voicemails I leave her and I like it because it makes me feel like everything is a unified whole.
