My former therapist did somethings unique to me. One was he handled my schedule himself rather than his practice manager/wife who did scheduling for him. There were a couple of other things.

There's no way for me to know all things he does with all clients unless he tells me, but my current therapist did say he normally doesn't text/email with people the way he did with me. That doesn't mean I was the only one. But I am really surprised to see people here are the only ones who emailed with their therapists. Really surprised! Not sure how experienced those therapists are, but mine has been in practice 40 years, so I would expect him to have 'seen it all'.

There was a point where we were doing 'text therapy', for a few months, and I wondered if that is something he did with many others. I felt he was encouraging it. It actually worked good at the time as I was feeling really young attachment feelings. That was before the abstinence 'technique' was fully applied by him....wont get into that here.

Now we don't text outside of scheduling. Works better for us at this point anyway. Well for the most part...

I think therapy should be individually tailored to each client, but not out of favoritism; only out of clinical need. Just my take on it.

Strange that a therapist seeing 100s of clients would have never had 1 who emailed. I wonder why? Gives me a bit of shivers about a couple things my therapist said I "was the only one" about.
