At your next therapy session, you can talk about what you wrote. Or maybe you won't be able to...but at least she will be more aware of what is troubling you. The writing could help serve as a bridge you could use to learn to talk about subjects you are too afraid to bring up.

I think I'm kind of worried about becoming too attached to her; I already think about her too much as it is (transference, I'm sure), and I don't want to start relying on emailing her too much between sessions. I'm not worried so much that it will annoy her, although I can't imagine it wouldn't, but I just don't want to become even more dependent on her than I already am.
Thank you for your advice. I'll let you know if I decide to email her before my next session.
