Maybe it's just better not to go "there" in the first place. And that's what i'm trying to achieve by not contacting her outside of session. I'm not good at being balanced lol i'm either at one end of the spectrum or the other it seems.

Makes sense to me. And I agree. Sometimes, and some (too many) Ts like to try to engineer things - and they don't understand what they don't know. I really admire your ability to make sure you are feeling safe. I ignored that, and now I regret it. But I couldn't make myself. It was too enticing for me. So I learned some other, painful lessons, along with some good lessons.
