Welcome to PC!

There is definitely a continuum of experience here!

I would be on the side of the "less needs the better". I don't call between sessions unless I have an emergency or need to change my appt. I don't email. Quite honestly I don't even know if these things are an option (email or extra phone time) because I have never asked about or for them. I would not want to be a 'burden' ever! But I don't think this is healthy or right or unhealthy or wrong. I have just taken a LONG time to trust and my boundaries are a bit more like walls, you know?

I do like reading other's experiences. It gives me an idea of what else is a possibility.
