I know the feeling jannie--I remember feeling teeth-clenching anger when my T asked me to "check in daily."
I fought hard not to give in and call. I came up with every excuse in the book not to call. But all that did in the long run was make her call me.
But now out of the eye of the hurricane, I can clearly see what she did for me and why.
Try not to look at it like a "dependece" issue, think of it more like "someone really cares enough to keep me safe."
It's a good thing.
