I've been in contact for many years. What I hear you saying is that you still feel a need to be in contact and you are experiencing a lot of strong emotions related to her. I would advise you to wait because the relationship has changed and negotiating the new emotional boundaries is a challenge under any circumstances. When you're still in the sway of strong emotions, it's an almost impossible task which increases the chances that you will be hurt. It doesn't mean she will do anything hurtful; but your need feels stronger than can be met under the circumstances.

A month is no time at all. There are good reasons the APA advises Ts to abstain from contact for 2 years, though there is no prohibition of casual contact. I just think you're setting yourself up for pain if you contact her while you still feel a need to contact her. And if she's a competent T, she will recognize that need and rightfully respond in a way that encourages distance--and that will feel hurtful to you.
Thanks for this!
