She has always remained consistent about it. She replies within 24 hours normally and always replies to my text as soon as she sees it to acknowledge that I have sent an email and to tell me when she will likely get round to it. This consistency and availability has now naturally led to my being far less anxious about it and as such a less need to do it.

Had she been unavailable, unwilling to reply or inconsistent I think it would have driven me nuts and I would have struggled not emailing because I would still be wanting something I couldn't get, if that makes sense.

ETA, sorry OP, this is almost completely irrelevant to your post because I see you make no mention of your T being unavailable or inconsistent. Sorry, I think I got confused but I want to leave my post here because if these things were present then I do agree that it isn't always the clients fault they are struggling, the T has to play some part in it.

Anyway, I hope you can find a way to make this work for you, if it is what you want, which by the sound of it it is.
Well my T isn't always reliable with responses. Sometimes right away, sometimes 4-5 days later. Sometimes not at all (rarely). That part does feel hard for me. I just want to be able to reach out and ask "do you still like me?" Lol. And have him say "yes, of course I still like you". Except I usually email him about other less direct subject matter because the thought of him not replying to that question rips me to shreds :/
