Ouch about the Hotmail thing. I still use a hotmail address. Didn’t realize that there was something to be judged about by using that.

Anyway, my T does not do text. She does use email, but has very clear boundaries in that she is not available outside of office hours, period, unless otherwise arranged. I can write all I want, but she will only respond if I request it and it’s during a workday.

In fairness, though, we have an arrangement where she does check in phone calls with me every non session day she is in the office. She only works three days a week, and I have an appt one of them, so two calls per week. They are short, although with her reduced workload these days they can be slightly longer, and I’m not charged for them.

I wish I had the resources to do what I see people do on here- multiple appts a week, constant reassurance with emails or text. If only I had more money, maybe I could be more important, too.
