But if you read anything, the literature talks about going too fast, lose of control, etc and increased contact with clients.

Well I must disagree with this comment, with all due respect. I read tons and the one common thought expressed is that therapy is very individual and the pace is up to the client/patient.

You did not understand the comment. The comment discusses that when their is an increased level of contact between client and T, it occurs when the pace of therapy is probably too fast. Especially in the beginning of T, when client has yet to establish trust.

I am not saying anything about how "individualized the speed of therapy" is. I am saying that increased contact is a sign of something.

Earthmama said that she is basically being flooded once she leaves therapy, so that she is being overwhelmed and feeling the need to contact T daily. She said she is falling apart outside therapy.

You are not supposed to leaving therapy in such horrible shape that your level of functioning is decreasing. Yes, maybe the day of therapy you are exhausted, sad, etc. But you should not be constantly flooded and overwhelmed.

I don't have a problem with the fact that her T is allowing continued contact. That is great. MY point is that it is indicative of something, especially seeing that this is the first time she has been in T.
