I am trying out a new therapist (again ). I've seen him for about a month now and he initiated texting with me to arrange appoint times/changes, but that has been the extent of it. He didn't say if it is ok to contact him outside of schedule changes and I didn't ask.

I was most recently using online therapy where our main form of communication was daily texting and I could text whenever I wanted without worrying about the time or pressuring him, he would just respond whenever he worked next.

Switching back to 1 hour a week has felt strange and I'm starting to think of things I want to say to my T out of session and possibly feel like I want just a little reassurance.

Would you just ask what his policy is? Or would you just text and see what happens? I don't want to make it awkward! I'm kind of scared to bring it up because not asking for things is one of my chronic problems... I'm definitely the person who will suffer through 1 hour of painful massage rather than just say "hey can you not touch me right there?"
