I have emailed my T twice in two years (he typically doesn't allow emails). I have never texted him (he doesn't want texts). He allows telephone calls freely, he says. In the first year, I probably only called him once, other than for scheduling issues. I called maybe three times for scheduling in that first year. When my dad got sick, I called him in between sessions for an actual issue for the first time. I called maybe once a month. Then when my dad was REALLY ill and after he died, I called T three times in one week, twice the next two weeks. Then I didn't call him again for two months, and then about another three months until the next call. So. I guess that was a really long way of saying, "It depends."
