My t has contacted me about scheduling or if I asked her something and she didn't know so she would find out and text it to me but other than that she won't. First t always checked up via text and I wondered what kind of relationship this was and was confused by it, I would start to text her and she accused me of crossing her boundaries. I think she didn't really know what she was opening up or didn't discuss the boundaries or the limitations of our working relationship, as a new client this was confusing for me and I developed a dependency on her which soon turned into erotic transference. I can't blame her entirely but if she had of been professional and explained our boundaries it would have helped.
As a therapist I have only contacted clients outside of session for scheduling. But yesterday I text one of my clients because of what we were working on yesterday. It was directly related to that and I will discuss how it was for him to receive that text next week. We have been working together for a year and he has never asked for outside support and yesterday I seen a really vulnerable side to him. I rand my supervisor and explained and he thought it was OK in this instance because it was related to what we were working on!
