I have seen this T for about three years. She has been great. About six months ago, my 23 year old son was arrested for a pot DUI. He had to spend a night in jail, have an ankle bracelet for a day, go to court several times, drug classes, you get the idea. We hired an attorney so had excellent help.

The weird part is that my son and I share this T. He was suffering with depression about a year ago and she was the only T I knew that could get him in. They struck it off and it's all been fine with us sharing her. She is very careful to keep things separate.

Since the DUI, I have been flipped out with my bipolar. The stress has been exceptional due to the never ending things to cope with. I talk to my T a lot about this in session.

When my son went to jail, I texted her as I was quite upset. I texted her during the ankle bracelet thing. While we were waiting for the court sentence I texted her. I did it too much. I felt guilty and told her to charge me for a session as she had helped so much through text. She charged me (I self pay with her).

I feel really guilty and out of control with depending on her. She was easy to text as she knew my son and the situation quite well. But now I want to cold turkey off of talking to her outside of session. I want to depend on other support so she doesn't view me as a "pain".

Any tips on cold turkeying off of her? I'd strictly like to text just for scheduling, etc.
