I call/email my T a lot. By a lot, I mean typically it's once or more a day. And we have the same arrangement as Tree does -- she doesn't respond unless I specifically ask her to. (And that is usually only once or twice a year.)

Different T's have different rules, and probably T's have different rules for each client. (I know that mine once tried to limit my phone calls, and I really couldn't handle it, which fortunately she recognized.)
