What I have learned from this recently is I can't count on him they way I would love to. Therefore, I need to start building that system outside of the therapy room and I've already begun.

I need to start building that system myself and in a way contact outside of session is counter productive for that goal. Of course, I don't want to build a system or really I don't feel like it's possible to get the support I want - so I rely on T too much. She doesn't contact me or respond to me out of session unless things are very rough though. My pdoc spoiled me with contact outside of appointments and that made it hard when he couldn't do it anymore - brings up feelings of abandonment. But I guess that's good too, because it helps me work through the issue.
