Former T let me email a lot and she emailed me back quite a bit. At times it was therapeutic but it was also pure agony waiting for her response, which sometimes never came. Regular T (current T) doesn't email but she does text, though we have never had a long text session. And it's not quite as traumatic waiting for the reply because I'm not getting into deep stuff that way. Pastor T emailed occasionally but I found that he responded pretty fast each time so I didn't have that agonizing wait.
All that to say, it is very difficult waiting for a response, especially in a time of deep pain or hurting. But even just generally. And then IMO, the response wasn't usually enough and didn't quell the fears or soothe the hurt enough. It helped but it was just like a bandaid. I have discovered I do better not being able to email.

I hope you and your T are able to work through this. Have the two of you had a discussion on email and the expectations you both have?
She doesn't really check her work email so we opted for texting. Even with texting she warned me she often forgets to check her work texts. We also discussed how she would respond to the texts. She asks that I put in whether I need a call back, etc. I did ask that if I didn't request a call back to please acknowledge that she received it. Some times it takes a couple if days to get a response from her but I knew that going in __________________ |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
