Hi 20oney,

The fact that R is open to out of session contact is a plus for me.
I sometimes find it difficult when an important message goes unanswered, but we will talk about that in the next session usually.

I used to find it difficult not knowing whether she'd seen an email...but now I sometimes use an email tracking programme on particularly important messages.

Having that peace of mind helps me sit in the waiting.

Is it a sense of wanting to know that T is still there?

Perhaps when you meet again, you could ask for a note of some kind.
For the first summer break with R, I remember making quite a 'performance' of asking for a three word post it note.

She's never forgotten that moment, either...but it's been extremely helpful for me to have that.
