The t's I have had have all "begged" me to contact them. I am also one of those really independent people who worries that I am being too dependent.

XT gave me his cell and home numbers as well as his office and home emails. He wanted me to email once a week because I was having extreme difficulty talking. I maybe emailed once every few months, and usually it was to tell him something I couldn't say in session. He used text messaging as well, and I used that more often than calling...usually things like "having a rough time, can you call if you get a chance?" or even "do you have any extra sessions open this week". He hated checking voice mail and found a text message to be much easier, as did I. After a session he would frequently say "can you text me later to let me know you're okay?" and I seldom would because it felt too demanding. After really hard sessions he would end up texting me later in the day with a "just checking on you" and even that would piss me off.

I have to add that I never contacted in between more often than once a month, or even once every few months.
