T1 is ok with texts, calls and emails. He always responds almost always the same day (occasionally he will tell me he will be out of touch). He has encouraged it. Over the years there have been times where I contacted him daily. Now, I do two sessions a week and probably contact him a couple times a month outside of that. The need/desire to contact has definitely decreased. There have been a couple of times where messages didn't go through, which was very distressing at the time. Now, I assume it is a technical glitch and either wait until session or just text to see if he got the first communication. He's fine with that, too.

We have talked about the contact at different points and have made adjustments. At this point, we will sometimes agree on a check-in either initiated by him or me. And sometimes I just initiate the contact.

I use texting to reach out, sometimes I will ask for a call. We mostly use email for scheduling when I can't do my usual M and F. But I can email whenever/whatever if I want. Probably if I was contacting him after 9 pm I would email. He says he has only been contacted in the middle of the night a few times in over 20 years (none by me) and he was glad that those people made the contact.
