I have complex ptsd and an avoidant attachment style. I see my t once per week for an hour. There's no ability to see her more frequently as it's a free service and that's what they can (generously) offer. I am allowed email contact, and during business hours can call. Texting has only ever been initiated by my t and are always session time related (text messages go through the organisation's central office system, so are not private between clients and ts).

The biggest thing my t has done to help me in this regard is to be consistent in replying. She always responds to my requests for help.

It's really hard for me to reach out for help, so her consistent approach, reminders that it's okay to contact her and her encouragement to do so helps me feel more comfortable in my relationship with her.
