I think it's more about the entire psychological model - the point of therapy. Different clients will need different things. That's just the way it is. It's not quite as cut and dry like when going to a physical health doctor. The weird thing is often Ts may not even tell you your diagnosis. I mean - really? And let's face it - for a lot of clients here, often the relationship is central. So out of session contact takes on an entirely different meaning. Idk. This isn't an easy subject because everyone on Pc is here for different reasons. Some are ok with out of session contact and some are much less comfortable with the idea.

For me, I just don't have the type of relationship with my T to feel ok about calling him so I never have. I've emailed a couple times and texted him once but they've all been fairly recent. And we've spent time talking about it every session after the fact....Everything in therapy is read into, from my experience. I swear, if I breathe "wrong" it probably means something to him I have no problem with other people initiating out of session contact. I am just not sure if it's right for me.
