Ok I apologize for making assumptions because of course every situation is different. I've called mine at his office when I'm struggling (maybe once or twice a year) and he'll always return my call- during office hours. So email between sessions during office hours or even shortly before or after is not what I'm talking about. I've found it helpful with my sons provider since he doesn't see her much and she likes to be updated. I'm referring to more sporadic on demand contact that, to me, teeters on personal. Part of therapy, especially with PD, is learning self soothing and coping skills. Learning that people who are helpful and caring still can't be there for you every time you need them, even if you think its important enough. And it's wise to for a T to apply the same rules to most patients (as always depending on the context), if anything for balance. It is a profession after all, a very unique and special one but still a profession.
