I'm not sure I would have answered differently. I probably would have turned it back on her and asked her what she thought, but it sounds like she was already telling you that. I can email my therapist as much as I want, and call as much as I want, so I'm lucky I guess. He doesn't always respond to all my emails and he's realllly bad about returning phone calls (he forgets to check his voicemail at home), but it's the right amount of contact for me. The emails really let me keep secure in the fact that he's there since I tend to freak out that he's going to leave me.
Incidentally, my mother saw my email account over Thanksgiving because I accidentally closed a window when she was standing there, and she was asking me why I had so many emails from my therapist. She was abused by therapists in the past, so she's hypersensitive, but I HATE having to depend my therapist to her because he's so far from abusive. I have to do it though because she pays for my therapy.
Anyway, I'm late for work, but I wanted to respond.
