The last time I e-mailed between sessions, I told myself that I shouldn't and that I must learn to keep to the boundaries of the session. I sought of feel that I am being unfair on him and that he needs a life away from clients.

However reading the posts on here it seems not so unusual for people to have contact with their T between sessions.

So I guess my question is, is it OK to contact between sessions and is this something that you agree this with your T? Please don't say to discuss this with him, my sane brain tells me that I should, but the other part of me finds it so hard to talk in the sessions.
I have the exact same problem. my t always tells me to call her if i need to, but she also knows that i have a huge problem with telephones and making phonecalls. my t doesn't do email, so i do not have any contact with her in between sessions. i envy those who can email their t's. iw ould love that.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
Thanks for this!
