I have many, but some are counter-productive. And I break a lot of them all the time.

1. Don't send more than 1-2 texts a day, unless something major comes up
2. Be as honest as you can, even if you're scared
3. If you can't say it in person, send a text, but make absolutely sure you can't say it in person first
4. If you're angry at T for whatever reason, tell her...likewise, if you think she hates you or is angry at you or is frustrated, etc., ask about it
5. Be upfront about money issues and time constraints
6. Always ask for clarification if you're not sure
7. Don't hide things you know your T would like to know
8. Believe the best about her and her intentions, even if you're doubting them
9. Don't quit because you and your T are a great match, and this may be your best shot at healing for a long time
10. Don't push boundaries or feel offended when they come up...they're for your protection and your T's sanity
