I think whether or not you reach out to your therapist is your choice and based on how you want to manage the relationship. I don't know that there is a right or wrong choice. I do want to share this, though, because it surprised me when my T said it. Of course, this is my T and based on our therapeutic relationship so may not apply.

We were talking about what would happen if I were to become physically ill and be in the hospital or it something were to happen (like a car accident) and I had to go to the hospital. She said she would not contact me or visit me unless I asked her or contacted her first, BUT she would want to. She is very careful about drawing me into any type of dependency, so she would not ask to come and see me or contact me to see how I am, but she would want to and would want to know.

Could it be possible that your therapist left the door open for YOU to contact HER because it is her boundary to not contact you first? Just a thought....
Thanks for this!
