Just a warning - My xT allowed me to contact her between sessions and greatly encouraged it. At the last time, I was in severe crisis and was imminently sui. I called her and she told me not to call her anymore and just hung up on me. Ethically she should have at least called the police to come help me as I had OD'ed and she knew it. I reached her limit and instead of her setting up appropriate boundaries, she just shut me down. Our relationship ended immediately after that. My new T says that she should have handled that much differently, that she was not professional and was unethical to handle things as she did. My xT and I had a 7 year relationship and I NEVER thought it would end that way. But it can and it does. Sp please, be careful.
