I know that communication is VITAL for the success of the therapy relationship, at least for me. I write everything down, tell t everything, etc. I have been lucky enough to be able to email and call t whenever, and get a response (as long as its something substantial to talk about, if not then it can wait until the next session). I made the way I work in t very clear when I met my new t, and I always make sure that t and i are on the same page, because I have had very bad instances with miscommunication and I know how badly things can go without good communication.
