I really like to text rather than talk on the phone, but I save my texting joys for my sisters and good friends. I have no desire to text my therapist or even call her on the phone. Like her a lot but even 50 minutes once a week is enough contact for me!

My former therapist initially encouraged me to email following my sessions if anything came up for me. I did it a couple of times, and although I definitely express myself better in written form than verbal, I didn't like it and stopped. I think texting and email works for some people. I think it helps them to keep a solid connection with their therapist, but it's not for everyone and definitely not for me.
