When I was not doing well, I saw my T up to three times per week. I once saw her for a 1.5-hour session too. My T is also available to talk on the phone if needed. She regularly checks her voicemail, and is very good at returning calls. She and I actually talked today about the therapeutic relationship and how important it is for clients to be able to trust their therapists and feel like they are there as a support. All those things helped me bond more with her and feel safe with her. I trust her and know that she is there. She has never shown me anything to the contrary. She kind of gives me bits of advice like this now, as she knows I am starting grad school to be a T in September. It interesting to hear these things from her perspective....
