Judy, I really wish my therapist accepted email communications. I don't even know if he has email. Of course, then my OCD might kick in and not want me to put anything in writing. :)
But it would be so convenient. Sometimes I want to say something to him, but I know that when the next appointment comes around I'll be feeling a bit differently and won't want to say it. So then I either have to call him to leave a message, or hope that the next appt I will tell him what I want to tell him in the way I want to tell him (which very rarely happens). I tried writing it down, but I just shredded the communications. And while I must admit that I told him what I shredded, I didn't tell him in the same way. I changed the whole tone of it, making it a different message altogether.
Email would solve that whole dilemma. And he would be able to hear from me while I'm in the mood I'm trying to communicate from. Instead of filtered and distorted from a different mood entirely.
I wonder if he has email, or if he's afraid I'll misuse it. Or if it just hasn't occurred to him. Maybe I'll bring up the problem with him and see if he has a suggestion.
