I'm just curious...how many ts agree to some contact after therapy has officially ended with a client? I don't mean becoming friends which is obviously a grey area in terms of ethics, but simply staying in contact via letters, emails or texts? The very first T I saw years ago was completely open to it and I still write to her on and off and send a Christmas card. The T after that was dead against it and seemed unable to distinguish having some contact with that of being friends. As a result, we never stayed in contact and the ending was like a death which I grieved for as such. I don't know about current T's policy at all.

Maybe it's different depending on country as well as how relaxed each t is? Has any of you ever approached this issue with a t?
