The best thing to do would be to talk to your therapist about this. On the other hand from what I've observed from these forums is that outside contact seems to perpetuate these types of feelings and neediness. I know many people like the outside contact but they don't seem to see that it only causes them more stress when they don't get the immediate responses that they're looking for, or the therapist starts to tighten the boundaries as a result of it. I have absolutely no attachment to my therapist which is the opposite problem but I can see myself leaning your way if I was allowed constant outside contact. Since I don't contact him outside ever except for scheduling issues I don't have that problem to worry about. I am in no way blaming you but I feel a lot of therapists from my experience of reading this forum don't realize what they start with clients when they allow all of the outside contact. Therapist job is to give you the tools to help yourself but money for whatever reason same to Foster dependence on them which is not ethical.
