My former therapist use to let me text or email when I needed to, but then he got to where he would text me all the time and we would text back and forth a lot. It caused me to get too dependant on his help and when I told him I was uncomfortable with my attatchment he got mad at me and blamed it on the texting which he blamed on me. Needless to say he crossed boundries with me by allowing texting and crossed many more after that. I have had many therapists in my life and he was the only one I ever had that problem with. I have to say I would never allow texting or emailing if I were a therapist it can send the wrong message and create a severe dependance. Of course this therapist was an emotionaly abusive man who should not have been in the mental health field or allowed out in public for that matter. Im still suffering from his disgusting behavior.
