Well, I personally let things go, but I'm not sure my therapist didn't think I wanted things that way. She didn't know me and I didn't know her, so we were just taking things as they went. It's been 6 sessions. It has damaged my therapy sessions, my not setting down boundaries, as it were.
As for your situation. Personally, I would never text my therapist or agree to it. To me that crosses the lines for me. I don't want a friend, I want a therapist. One who sees me face to face. 80% of communication is reading physical cues, I have heard, and to me it makes sense (as an aspie).
I might give it one more session (I'm scheduled anyway), but frankly my therapist is far too informal for me. I need structure, and there's no structure in the sessions, which leaves me uneasy, since in my experience structure and boundary go hand in hand.
