Is this the same T who has been busy lately?
The arrangement my T has with me is unlimited email between session but she may not reply to all of them.
When I first started to see her she gave me her cell number.
She would say as I left, "Call anytime." Or "Call if you need me." It took me a while to digest this and ask, "you mean I can call anytime?" That shocked me. We had to discuss it a few times before I realized she was serious. She literally answers the phone!
She does not charge me for out of session contact.
Its very kind of her to give me this access and not charge me. i did call her during a meltdown one Sunday morning at 8:30am. I woke her up. She wasn't angry and was very helpful... I felt bad about waking her up.
We rarely text.
I have had one other T who was liberal with phone messaging, although she had a voice mail. She would call me back, if needed. No charge.
I have seen quite a few T's and have never had these kind of contacts with other T's.
