She's probably fine with the contact and wants to make sure you feel OK about it. I texted my marriage counselor at 3 a.m. a few months ago when I was on vacation and feeling lonely. (He responded very kindly the next day.) During our first session after that, I kept waiting for him to say how inappropriate it was or that he was mad. But he said he wasn't mad or annoyed, that it was fine. I think some of us, myself included, have trouble accepting someone saying that they aren't mad at us. Because we feel angry at ourselves, so how could someone else not be?
