I have never had contact with T out of session. I can call and vent to her voice mail but not expect a call back. If I need an emergency session it will be with another T in the agency, not mine.

I think it's strange that it could be any other way. And I think it would lead to all sorts of misunderstandings and hurt feelings if she allowed it but didn't reciprocate or respond fast enough or whatever thousand scenarios we see on PC all the time. And what if she took it away completely after letting me have it?

I'd rather have therapy face to face. Some of the growing comes from being self-contained between sessions, in my opinion.
