In my 18 years of therapy I've never heard this term. Is this a new thing? I don't tend to think about my therapist outside of a session except when in crisis then feel bad about calling them and bothering them. At this point though with the therapist I'm working with now it's more like a weekly 10 min check in. Yes I'm still alive, this is what I'm gonna do this week, mood is fine. I have a couple people checking on me with me making the "yes I'm still alive" answer cause my husband is out of town till november. lol.
