My advice is to bring up the topic for discussion.
When we first started working together we discussed texting. She is okay with me texting her as long as it doesn't get out of control; we will discuss it if it does. Sje warned me that she doesnt always checking her practice number so it may take a bit for her to reply. When she checks her messages and she can tell I am struggling she we call me because she does like to discuss things like that over text. She is cool with me contacting her this way.
A couple of weeks ago, I asked her about texting her when I write about emotions (anger, frustrations, etc). We had a coversation about never texting her if I am suicidal (which we both know I never would) and that she will only call id she feels I am struggling and ask for her to call. Otherwise we would discuss it at the next appointment. She will try to bring iy up but if she forgets and I want to discuss it I need to bring it up. I told her that was fine but requested she jusr reply that she got it. She was cool with that. I have tried it once and she replied the next day and said she recieved it and and wished me a lovely day.
When I initially brought up the subject I could tell by her facial expression her first instinct wqs not happy. We discussed it though and found a way that worked for the both of us.
