I text her once a day for a check in which, whether I want to admit or not, helps immensely. I tell her I miss her, with no expectation that she says it in return, of course.

But it helps to have the freedom to express it as often as I want. I know she won't judge me or refer me out because we've had the big transference talk. Also I have a voice recording that she made for me, and some music that she suggested so I have a little playlist. I put the playlist on repeat and shuffle so I can hear her voice.
