This is why clear boundaries need to be established. No guess work on what the T meant, no feeling guilty if you email or contact out of session. I would he mail her as you wish and at next session ask what outside session is acceptable. This will take away all the torturous back and forth in your head if you should or shouldn't.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
