No contact actually hasn't been my experience with several of the Ts that I've had. There hasn't been a lot of contact--one I don't contact anymore by my choice--but I still can email two of them and they will email me back (one I honestly haven't emailed in perhaps 2 years, though this possibility is open to me). There were always limits in place, particularly during the period that I was connecting to a new therapist. I still email back and forth a few times a year one T that I stopped working with 4 years ago and I don't foresee this changing. My current T and I have talked about contact and she has made clear that she will correspond with me by email when we finish working together. She also trusts me to be able to monitor how much I email--we both have no doubt about this, particularly given my recent growth. She is good with the relationship that I have with the former T I mentioned and she says that our post-therapy relationship will resemble this one.
