wishingstar, I am truly sorry you are in so much "therapy pain". I still think you should give Ginny a chance. I think, from your posts, she's been honest and helpful in the past - but it does sound like your both at an impasse.
Maybe she's pushing you a bit, because as you won't talk in therapy, while perhaps being self-destructive meanwhile. Perhaps she is feeling helpless and like her hands are tied. That's a tough proposition for you both to be in.
& maybe she's alarmed for you which is why she suggested long term residential. If she didn't care at all, she would just refer you and move on. But it doesn't sound like the case to me, in my opinion.
& just as aside, therapist have their own comfort levels and ways of treating people in crisis. Some might discourage e-mail contact for various reasons, but maybe Ginny's reason is that you won't talk in therapy as you said before and perhaps she wants to foster face to face communication, rather than going the e-mail route. It couldn't hurt to ask her.
I wish you peace, be easy on yourself and Ginny. It sounds like you are both trying.
