I took it as a green light to go ahead and email, but I still feel a little hurt and want to hold back to show him I don’t need this from him. That being said, I don’t necessarily feel like I need a response to every email. Sometimes I might just want to get something off my chest.

With former T probably 80 percent she just read, no response, but none actually needed. 10 percent she answered on her own accord and another 10 percent she answered because I specifically asked for an answer. I understand not necessarily needing a response, and just wanting to get something off of your chest. I think it would be hard though to never receive a response. I would feel unheard even if I knew T read them. Not saying that is your experience. Just what I think I would feel. I don't email current T and although that has its drawbacks, it does in a way simplify my life. I do tend to journal more. But sometimes I do wish I could drop her a line in the midst of something. It's hard to hold onto it for sometimes a few weeks at a time. HUGS Kit

That’s nice that your former T responded at least once in a while. I just think that even if you choose not to respond there are probably occasional emails that merit a response. His response was that he didn’t want to be inconsistent to which I responded that that was a cop out answer. I agree with what you said above and am still processing how I feel about it all. My T seems good when I’m with him, but when I start thinking it through I can feel hurt again.
