I don't contact my T outside of sessions unless it's an absolutely, undeniable ER. If I forget something important I write it down, and either give him the written note at the beginning of the next session or read it over before I go in as a reminder to me. That said, if it has been acceptable to email frequently & it's become an acceptable practice being asked to change would be hurtful. I got a meme today that showed an empty cup & said you can't pour from this cup. Perhaps your T needs some rest. Sounds like she's a T that gives a lot. Also sounds like she thinks you've developed some reliable coping strategies. She left open some availability if you think it's necessary. In years passed I've had Ts that wouldn't take emails or phone calls on weekends, or vacations, during dinner or family times, etc. with no alternate contacts. Had one who could only be contacted by a message left with her receptionist. Will be following to see what others experienced are. Thanks for posting this.
