Emails to t that you've regretted?

[UnicornSightings]

We've all said or sent things that we initially regretted (or at least most of us!)

Let's share our embarrassment with eachother!

@UnicornSightings as you can tell from my thread today I tend to email my T more than I think others do. Embarrassing things I have said or sent to him include: You have to say that! You only think that way because I am paying you. You are only in this for the money and lastly on the spoken embarrassment scale I can't stop thinking about having sex with you.

When it comes to embarrassing things I have written to my T any of what I call my Therapy Diatribes which are usually written when I find myself needing him to know either how I feel or parts of my trauma history that I am too embarrassed to say out loud. These are most embarrassing when he begins to quote them in our next session and I feel exposed for telling him the things I did.

Been there. Done that. And yet the worst of the e-mails always led to the greatest of growth! I do miss my T!

Let's sha...

Lol! Hilariously awesome idea for a thread topic! Can we move this to anonymous so that I can really reply?! I wouldn't even know where to start, but I'm quite shocked that I'm not the only one that has sent embarrassing crazy emails to their therapist!!! I can't directly email her and so the office person sees them even before she does, double humiliation...

On this site it seems common to email your T all kinds of personal and intense stuff. My therapist says I'm the only one he's had do this. I just can't stop myself sometimes. It's like my inner damaged self needs to reach him that way. Yes the emails can be mortifying to read later. I have two other "parts" so it's really the parts that are writing. Forcing myself to see them and read them has forced my awareness of parts and has made me a lot better and more whole.

I don't have my T's email. I think it would cross a boundary it isn't healthy. But that just my opinion.

I texted my t on Friday while heavily intoxicated...don't know exactly what it said because I deleted it out of being mortified...it was rambling basically saying dk if I can take this anymore but, she never responded so yesterday I sent her an apologizing email stating that it was immature and I was intoxicated. However, she hasn't responded to either which is really driving me mad, I'm afraid that she's upset with me or going to discharge me as a client o0 idk...Normally I do not contact her outside of session

Not an email.. Done them in the room with T

"..how can I possibly tell YOU that.."

"don't wanna fill in this form with you sitting here.."

Wiping my runny nose on my wrist in front of T instead of reaching for a tissue

I'm sure there's more but can't think of them right now :whistling::bag:

lol i emailed the college counsellor when i was 19, telling her I was a lesbian haha...she emailed me back telling me she had already guessed LOL. i couldnt come out to my mom so i came out to her instead

Emails turned to poison. I emailed a T who told me I could email any time, and she responded by saying my emailing was a boundary violation and she was terminating. She didn't even have the decency to tell me on the phone. She called my mother (I'm 25!) and then she sent me an email days later. I actually don't believe much in the value of therapy after all the experiences I've had with counselors in the past 9 years. There are good ones, and even they become traumatizing trying to make themselves feel better, superior, and heroic.

This is a hard one, I have on more than one occasion sent an email to my T where she called the sheriff on me to do a welfare check, in those cases she was right in doing so because I was suicidal. At the time I regretted sending them, but not after I was better.
