Writing Letter to Therapist

Posted by jammerlich on June 21, 2005, at 16:16:15

I feel silly that my first post here is about something so relatively insignificant. I've been reading here for almost a year now and feel like I know you all so well, so it seems weird to post knowing that I am a stranger to virtually everyone. I have been in Open a couple of times as "hatemeifuknewme." But for some reason I can't get in anymore. Anyway, I digress, so on the the point.....

I need, need, need to send a letter to my former therapist and, silly as it may seem, I'm in a quandry over whether to send it typed or handwritten. On the one hand, it is personal and I want it to *feel* personal, so I'd like to write it out. But I'm also concerned about the possibility that she won't read it and will just toss it in my file instead. And let's face it, a typed letter will appear much shorter and she might be more likely to read something that seems shorter. What do you all think?

This is so dumb that I've had to sit a bit to decide whether or not to post it. I can't believe I'm worried about something this stupid. Probably because it keeps me from worrying about how gut-wrenching it will be to write, how nerve-wracking it will be to wait after I send it, and how potentially painful it will be to get the response that I do not want but most certainly expect - or worse yet, to get no response at all.
