After someone here asked me, ‘how could my T allow texting, email and telephone contact from me at any time’...I answered I thought it was bc she has a small practice. Truth is, I didn’t know if she allowed any of her other clients to have this much out of session contact. .

In therapy yesterday I came out and asked her if any of her other clients are allowed to phone, text and email anytime. She said, “No.”

I wasn’t ready for that answer. I didn’t even mumble ‘thank you.’ I know some phone her cell direct and she picks up. I figured SOME other clients could email and text, too. But no, just me.

I understood it wasn’t likely she would be able to allow ALL her clients this much contact. But I didn’t expect it was just meeee.

I am honored and happy that I have these privileges but I wonder, ‘why me?’ This is bringing up a few other questions for me. I haven’t decided whether we should talk about this further. Maybe I oughta shut up about it and just accept this ‘gift.’

I’m just surprised.
