I said she had implied it by saying how my e-mails kept getting longer and longer and more and more frequent. She said that ethically, you're supposed to treat all clients equally, with equal time and attention. And she only has so much time. I said in the past, she'd said how only a couple of her clients e-mailed. She replied that even if they didn't e-mail, the equal time thing still applied. Which...is not something she'd mentioned before in terms of e-mail. So I felt kind of weird about that.
That equal time thing strikes me as weird. Shouldn't it be based on what the client needs? Sometimes when there is something big or difficult happening in my life, I contact my T for support fairly frequently. Other times I go months without talking to her outside session. I assume other clients who want/need that kind of contact do the same thing, and probably other clients don't want/need it at all. Why does it have to be strictly equal to be ethical?
Thanks for this!
