I can be in touch anytime. It is great - but not in the way I would have assumed. I find that being allowed to contact her whenever means I work far harder at my therapy than if I was able to shove it all into a little box and trot it out once a week.
I don't know. I guess it's like I know what a stonkingly huge opportunity it is, to have this decent person truly trying to help me and be there for me as much as she can - so then when I feel myself detaching and wanting to pull away to the far side of **** and shut down on ALL interpersonal relationships...then I get the little voice reasoning with me that that would be very foolish, and to reach out and nip the withdrawal in the bud. So, that's why in between session contact is a pretty vital component of my therapy, right now anyway. Maybe once my attachment issues chill the **** out and I stop trying to run away I won't need it so much.
