I'm so glad that you have such a great T who is making you feel so supported! I completely understand not wanting to bother your T/be any trouble, and not wanting to appear needy. But your T told you it was fine-and your job is to trust that she is able to set her own boundaries, and that she wouldn't offer her support in this way if she didn't want to.

I can contact my T via phone call, email and text. I tend to use text the most-for logistics or if I need to ask for extra support. If I need extra support, I will sometimes leave a voice mail, but I find text easier, and I think that she does too. I rarely use email, but I've reached out that way a handful of times-ususally to clarify my thoughts after a difficult session. Sometimes, if I'm struggling with ED urges (to restrict, purge, or over-exercise), I'll ask her if I can send "accountability" texts/emails for a few meals or days, just to get myself back on track.

I usually contact my pdoc via text or phone. She hates email, so if I've definitely sent her email-length texts to clarify a thought or to ask her a question after or between a session.

They are both so awesome about getting back to me quickly. My T generally responds the way that I contacted her. My pdoc sometimes does, but will often call if she can tell by a text that I'm not-so-good.

Because they are so great about contact, I try very hard to not to get in touch unless I really need to.
