I loved emailed him. It really helped me connect to both him and myself in a way that is much healthier than the other stupid %#@&#! I do at night. I told him how the email serves as a way for me to perserve my feelings in the moment-- so that he knows exactly what I am feeling and there is no loss. So many times I go into session and I cannot recapture the feeling of a particular time.

When he emailed me back I almost just started to laugh because I'm not used to T in text form. I mean, it's been two and a half years and it has always been in person or on the phone.

I spoke with him twice today and he told me that I can email as much as I need to, but just not to be offended at his brief repsonses because he prefers to have the emails and really think about them so we can deal with the issues face to face. I said that was fine, as the emailing was more about a process for me and a way to connect. I completely agree with him because there is so much that can be said in the non verbals.

Did I ever mention I love my T?

Sounds like you have an awesome T. Emailing is great. This is my first T that I could email and I have her office as well as her home email and I love it.

Oh email can be very intimate. The act of writing in itself and the person on the other end reading. Have you ever read a good book and been completely lost in it? Well same thing can happen with letters/emails. You say your t doesn't write much but he is reading, so be honest and descriptive with what you write. Sounds like you have a good t there from what I skim through these posts. Seems like he really loves you and there is nothing wrong with that.
