If it helps you feel better to send the letter and know that this therapist probably read it, then by all means do so. If you are expecting a response, however, and this is a big part of why you write the letter, you may be disappointed.
One month ago I stopped going to my old pdoc/therapist as I felt I was not getting better. I was angry with him because I kept getting more and more depressed as time went on, and he kept pushing ECT too. Well, I ended up doing the ECT though I did cut it off before the ECT doc initially thought I should. To make a long story short, I got a new pdoc/therapist/analyst who really knows how to do therapy. I am starting to feel better in the sense of more hopeful, and I don't feel that he will express his irritation or annoyance or anger at me. My new therapist said it sounded like I did ECT as a gift to my old therapist. I think he is right. I liked my old therapist, but he really was not right for me and the issues I was trying to address.
Long story short, I wrote him an email the other day to let him know that his billing practices really caused me great grief with the insurance company. I let him know that by putting phone messages I left for him on the same bill with therapy, I ended up having two more therapy sessions of my 60 per year used and not even paid for by the insurance company. I wondered if he would write back, but he did not, and I don't expect now that he will.
