Details of Email Exchange Service

EXCHANGE OF EMAILS

This service involves an exchange of emails - one from you to me, and one reply from me; by ordering and paying via ClickBank (below). Your email can be up to two pages of A4 text, in 12 point type, attached to a brief covering email. (A4 size is the standard used on most word processors/printers, especially in Europe.  Letter is the American equivalent). I will read your email attachment, and comment at various points, giving my interpretation and any advice or guidance that seems appropriate. The cost of this service, is $30 USD.

INSIGHTS INTO EMAIL EXCHANGES
AS A FORM OF THERAPY


According to the International Society for Mental Health Online (ISMHO):

"... In the case of using email exchanges ..., you may feel more comfortable writing about your problems than talking about them.

4. You may write about what is bothering you sooner than you would talk about it. This can bring faster resolution to problems.

5. Writing may help you to think through your problems and to get in touch with your emotions. It can bring focus, clarity, insight, and emotional relief.

6. You can read and re-read your emails, and chat transcripts, thus achieving greater learning.

7. Writing enhances your relationship with yourself. ..."

Some additional points are made by Susan Wallbank, talking about writing more generally:

"(Email) counselling allows the client an opportunity to express thoughts and feelings and explore issues at the time when these are uppermost in the mind. (Emails) can be written at (a time of most convenience) and continued over a period of days or weeks. The client determines the timing of their side of the contract. Putting words down on paper often enables the writer to feel a sense of control over their situation and is often perceived as therapeutic in itself. Knowing someone is there to receive, acknowledge and respond to (emails) can provide those moving through (painful or distressing transitions) with a sense of security and provides a tangible opportunity to chart personal progress". Susan Wallbank, in Palmer and McMahon (2000).

(Exchange of four emails).


  • I will respond to the key points in your email with analysis, interpretations, suggestions and action-oriented homework assignments.

    "The experience of the Samaritans is that email is the least threatening medium for callers to express their feelings, telephone next and (then) face to face..."  Howlett and Langdon, Messages to Jo, in 'Writing Cures', Brunner-Routledge, 2004.
