> I guess I need to try and figure that out. I've really been trying to think about it. I've read the prior email I sent her two months ago over and over to see if it has clues. I just don't know.Be careful, though, my friend with the anorexic brain. In a similar situation, I would do the same thing -- but in my case, it would be OCD behavior, and not especially helpful to me. I worry that you might be vulnerable to that sort of thing, too...
And anyway, you probably won't find anything in it. My guess is that the turn around has to do with something else in the circumstance that you probably won't know about. Here's the thing: she could have been to a workshop or seminar that triggered her to thinking about the email communications; she could have consulted another T about something that brought email communication up; or she could have had some consultation that involved keeping some things confidential from another treating T. It could have nothing to do with your email.
My new pdoc had me sign a specific consent form in order to communicate via email, and when I told my T about that, she said she'd never thought of it, but it was an issue. I know she did some research about it, too, to see if she needed any sort of specific release -- AND she no longer responds to emails, although she will discuss them in session. It is possible that your situation has something like that going on.
As for the other part, the part about full disclosure with your male T, that may be specfic to you, and it may be generalized in that she's worried about liability because of something that's come up recently. I don't think there's any way to find out, except to hope she'll be honest with you. I hope she responds, and I hope she does explain.

Good luck, and I hope things go well for you.
