How often do you guys contact yours?
Have they ever set a limit?
Opinion on increase contact - I think its increased the abandonment issues!
I don't contact my pdocs or therapist at all between sessions. I see my pdocs every few weeks. And I see my therapist as often as once a week, and as little as once a month, depending on how busy I am and how I'm doing. Personally, I like it this way.
