Echoes...so happy for you and your wonderful T.
I have to say, that I agree with your new decision. I used to be jealous also or envious of people always talking to their T's on the phone, texting or emailing. I thought that maybe my T didn't like me enough to offer that. But what I've realized is that he just isn't that type of T. He is HUGE believer of the process during therapy. He wants to talk more about what comes up as we are talking, in session. He said I can call him in a crisis...and I'm happy with that.
I know some types of therapy (CBT, DBT) involve more contact out of the session so that's fine. I've come to realize that I'm doing my own, personal kind of therapy and what we are doing now is working just fine..thank you for bringing this up
