How can emails feel so good?

Last night I emailed T with a request (from the heart), and today I have received 4 emails from him already. All brief. We go back and forth. (I think we are done for the day.) He uses a lot of smileys and exclamation marks. Me too. How can these emails feel so good? I almost feel on overload from his warmth and caring, even though, objectively, the content of the messages is fairly neutral. But I can read beyond the words through the little things like the smileys and the informality of the language. I just feel cared for and responded to. Like his emails are stroking me and I purr like a cat.

That's good that he sent them - I wish mine would repspond to my email from yesterday. =( It does wonders to make one feel loved.

I did however have a lovely chat with my MD. She cares so much and i have never experienced that from an MD. I actually cried when i got off the phone - such confusing emotions; love to be cared for, but it is so foreign that it scares me. I worry that one day she'll give up on me, or that I'll fail - and thus fail her. A phone call from her can make me feel like a different person, and then i also feel guilty for feeling that happy. What a cycle. Emails are nice because you can reread them -and "hear" their voice when you know it well.

aw sunrise thats awesome. i know the feeling because i get the same when my T actually DOES email me.... but 90 percent of the time my emails go unanswered unless i bring it up in session and ask her to respond to a specific one. i save every email i have gotten from her and like kiya said re read them over and over because you can just hear their voice, its so comforting <33

ahh i soooo understand what you mean! Me and my old T use to email back and forth in between sessions and i remember how much i use to love getting emails back from her. It was as though i received a little "gift" every time i went to check my mail. To this day we still stay in contact, and it feels so darn good to hear from her.

I loving emailing with my T. They are so rewarding and it feels like their words just wrap around you and give you a nice safe warm hug!

I've kept all mine as well from previous Ts. It is just like a "gift". My heart always leaps when I see one in the inbox.

I'm so happy for you sunny!

He's making up for being lousy at returning phone calls. hehe

I wish I could email my T. I am much better in writing. I can call anytime but it isn't the same. Actually I may bring this up to her; she realizes my hearing impairment is a big issue in my life so maybe I can explain to her that the phone has never been my friend..

That must be sooo awesome to have emails to save and cherish!!

Sunrise,
I'm so happy for you! That's wonderful that your T is so caring and responsive.

If our Ts soothe us, then usually any little part of them will soothe us, too-- whether it is their voice on their message machine, words on a computer screen, a book, an appointment card, etc. I think that's great that you're T responded promptly and that you are able to benefit so much from that.
