Writing is the answer for me too. I don't know if I'm in the category of "no contact" between sessions or not because I can email my T but unless it's about scheduling or my birthday

she won't ever email me back. She discourages phone calls too, though if I feel it's necessary I can call.
So, I'm basically writing to get it "out" though I know my T will read my emails before my next session each week. That helps.
Posting on PC helps a lot too. If I start a lot of threads, I do it because it's a way of "connecting" to my T in some sense.
