In reply to Emailing your T?, posted by JayMac on September 13, 2008, at 11:51:10
JayMac,
I email my T - used to be about 1 time a week but now I'm trying not to at all. He is pretty good about responding within an hour or so. He has a blackberry so he gets it pretty much instantly. He doesn't discourage emails, but I find that I am 90% of the time disappointed by his reply. I usually feel like he didn't get what I was trying to say. So now I usually call if I feel a great need, or I just wait til I see him again. His email replies are always short, and when I've talked about emails with him in the past I think that he beleives that emails can be misunderstood and just not a great way to communicate issues/feelings,etc. Maybe your T believes something like that as well - dont want to close the door to communication, but prefer face to face (or even telephone)discussion.
My 2 cents says dont take it personally at all, and call your T if you need to.
Joni
