How does your T sign off on emails?

I'm not sure what it is to be honest. I'm more lenient on the scheduling emails if I'm to be honest. However, when I've spilt my guts and made myself extremely vulnerable blah blah fish paste and all you can conjure up is "Regards" that f****** irks me. Maybe generational or maybe just lack of wanting to try step out of iron clad boundaries for I don't know fear of what? Yeah clearly this grates my nerves. Maybe more than is warranted

I had to look. It is mostly "regards". Once it was "sincerely." It doesn't bother me--I guess because she is not at all cold. I usually sign mine "Thank you"...or just my name. We have a good relationship, but it is purely professional.

Just her first name.

Just to clarify Mouse, I meant it doesn't seem right for me to sign off with 'Love' (and I'm wondering why that is). I think it's lovely that your T does and that you're ok with it.

I feel the same, though I only get invoices via email. He agreed that I could send him an email during the break, if things got difficult and that he would read it. This was a mile stone in our relationship, though before he agreed, he did also remind me that he 'doesn't do therapy over email'. God forbid.

I think it's somewhat generational and perhaps gender influenced, too. But also, an invoice is business correspondence, so I would expect that's also why. Sometimes I'll get CS responses from various businesses and they're signed in, to me, bizarrely informal ways that make me roll my eyes!

I never exchanged e-mail with former T while in therapy. And his invoices came by post on a standard office supply invoice form. Since therapy, social e-mails he signed "Take care" or "Till later" or "Fondly." I've done the same, with the exception of a condolence letter.

Her first and last name in bold letters. I am pretty sure it is is a saved signature that automatically goes st the end if all of her emails.

“Thinking of you, “
(Her name)
Or

“You are in my thoughts,”
(Her name)

"Best"

That's it
