Yesterday, I was explaining to my T how difficult it is for me to pick up the phone and call him even if I'm in a really bad place. I've only called him a handful of times in three years without a specific reason like rescheduling.
He asked if having his email address would help. I'm not sure, but maybe it would. I told him that, so he gave me his address. Then, at the end of the session, he told me if I'm feeling nervous or like I would be bothering him too much if I called or emailed, I should ignore those feelings and contact him.
Of course, I'm feeling calmer today. He has a way of helping me with that and I don't even realize it's happening. But, I still have questions. What kinds of things would be acceptable for using email? Should I expect or not expect a reply? Should I ask for a reply? I think I have some ideas of how I might use it, if the need arises, but I'd like to hear what you all think.
I know some of you use email. Do you make it a regular or frequent form of communication? Do you write a lot or keep them short? Do you still call? More or less frequently?
Thanks for your thoughts, everyone.
