Sharon,
Just wanted to clarify something. My T has never encouraged me to email him. When I first started with him 6 years ago, I think he was experimenting with giving patients his email address, so it was on his business card. I soon noticed that his newer cards didn't have his email on them anymore. (Guess he must have decided the experiment was a failure.) I emailed him only once at that time, about an appt, and he suggested it would be better to do it by phone. So we have never emailed about anything therapy-related. This appears not to be the case with everyone here, based on what others have said.
The other thing I wanted to say is that we all have a tendency towards "the grass is greener." With all the good, caring things my T does, I still feel wounded sometimes because he doesn't give me presents. Or talismans. Or hugs. Or tell me he loves me. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world! I think he is a great therapist and I feel very lucky to have him. But I sure would like those other things too, and feel deprived and envious when someone else gets them and I don't (lol). Human nature, I suppose.
