Well I guess my experience with my T is not the norm because I can email him anytime and he answers each and every one of them. He actually encourages me to email him and call him if I need him whether it be for support or to send him my writings. I do a lot of writings about our sessions or things that have come up or been triggered for me and he said it is so helpful for him to have my writings so that he can understand where I am coming from and some of my distorted thinking. I too don't always express myself well in person so knowing that I can email him anytime between sessions helps.

I also know that I can pretty much get in contact with him anytime of day or night because he uses email with most of his clients in between sessions as his hours of work are odd and therefore encourages email. Sometimes it is just a "hang in there" or "good for you" and other times it is so much more in depth and to me it makes me feel like he is more of a human being who actually cares about me. I have had other T and Pdocs who have not even said to call them in between or if I did call they wouldn't call me back so this type of support is great for me.
