I wondered about this too, actually. We didn't talk at all about contact during the break, and at first I assumed there wouldn't be any, and then I had this "maybe I'll e-mail once a week" idea, which I think I may have discarded.
It FEELS pretty cold turkey, because I really am used to a LOT of contact with T...twice a week sessions, plus leaving a voice message or sending an e-mail a few times a week.
When it got scary, I realized I could just call T and talk to him about whether I should come back, and I guess that's when I found out he's still there
Anyhow, I guess I'm finding out that it's not as black and white as I thought it would be. It doesn't have to be "no contact" or "once a week contact"...I think it can just flow however it needs to. I wonder how many times I will have to learn the "it's not black and white" lesson? Apparently a lot
