I think many therapists are providing more support right now because my of the supports that clients had in place before COVID are no longer available. They also know the negative impact it is having on the mental health of many people. What of you as your to go back to more his pre Covid ways? Charge you again for emails, limit to 2 sessions a week or whatever us making you uncomfortable.

Regarding whether it would be better to keep working with him, I don't know--I am still meeting with him Monday (and kept him on the schedule for next week, but I imagine I'll at least cancel Wednesday because I have the intake with another T later that afternoon).
In terms of pre-Covid ways, it isn't just the emails and session limits. It's that he also said he'd be less supportive and would push more. And now that I've seen him be more supportive, I think it would be difficult to go back to the other way.
And I really feel like there's stuff I need to work on that he's not really skilled and/or comfortable enough to do. I think I just need to try someone different for a bit, even just a few sessions, to see what it feels like. Last year, that helped me realize I did want to stay with T. This year, I don't know?
