I'm pretty sure I was my last T's neediest client based on her reactions to my emotional outbursts. I tried (and continue to try) not to be, but it's hard when I'm falling apart and I feel like she can help me feel a little better (bc she usually can or she can at least help me tolerate it).
I know once or twice she had to consult with others about how to handle the situation, which I felt guilty and awkward about. Also, I had been texting her a bit and although she doesn't do "text therapy," she randomly told me she got a new (work cell) phone so it's easier to text. This was only in the middle of my texts to her suddenly increasing, so I kinda think it prompted her to get a phone with a keyboard to be able to respond to me more easily when a call wasn't needed or possible.
