Ididitmyway - thanks for your responses. The request for weekend contact is sounding less appealing to me. I don’t want to complicate things or make him feel resentful if he ends up being flexible. He has offered me a 2nd weekly session but we are having trouble finding a time that works. That may change in the future and maybe that will be the solution. I can find ways to manage Fri-Sun without him. Or maybe he might be willing to send a quick email first thing Monday morning.

Regarding friendships with T’s, I actually have no desire for that. Although I have been guilty of googling him (not sure exactly why I do that), I actually have no desire to ever see him outside of the therapy room. In fact, I’d like to think he’s always there and never leaves! As a healthcare worker I’m familiar with the idea that he is one person at work, and just a regular guy at home. My desire is to have a relationship with the person he is at work if that makes any sense.
