T gave me her email address and phone number and told me to contact her if I needed to. I expressed concern over using email to much or whatever. She told me if it were ever an issue she would say something. There was never a problem. I didn't like calling her as I get it was to intrusive. So 95% of our outside contact was through email.

With Emdr T we hadn't discussed it. Her email address was listed on psychology today and that was how I made initial contact and we had a bit of an email exchange. Very early on I was struggling a bit after an appointment with her so T encouraged me to reach out. I sent her an email and told her I didn't know if she had any preferences on outside contact and that I would understand if she didnt reapond. 2 days later she called and left a voicemail and an email that said if I thought it would help to talk to her to give her a call. We talked about what was doing in but we also talk about email. She does not utilize email as a form of outise contact for a couple of reasons. One she is bad at checking it on a regular basis. Secondly. She does not trust the confidentiality of it as well as while she knows I would not contact her that way if I were suicidal some clients do. For these reasons she uses text or calling.
