How does your T respond? I mean if you email does your T email or call back? If you call does your T call or Email? Or does your T text you when you texted

My answers are"
If I call. he calls
If I texted, he texts
If I email he emails (unless he thinks it is urgent, then he calls)

Thank you all who respond

I wish my T would respond the same way, call if I call, text if I text, etc. I guess she just does what works best for her, but I don't really like it when I call her and get a text instead of a return call.

If I e-mail and ask for a response, he usually e-mails back...unless he has a lot to say, then he calls and leaves a message. He's not a big typer

If I call and ask for a call back, he calls.

I e-mail and leave voice mails a lot but don't ask for a return e-mail/call. It's just a way to connect and get things out of my head, and it helps. So, if I need some kind of response, I ask, otherwise, it's enough to just reach out.
Thanks for this!

Depends.
If I call, she calls back
If I email, she usually emails back...but if I tell her I think I need to talk on the phone she'll call instead.
I've never texted my T, but I assume she'd reply in kind unless I was asking for a call back.

I've had two instances where I emailed her and was just really vague and confused in the email, so she called me instead of replying. I've had an instance where I left her a voice mail and said she could just email a reply if she wanted, so she did.

If I call and if I ask her to call, she calls.
I email, she doesn't respond. We talk about it next session.
We/I don't text.

If I call and ask for a callback, he calls back
If I text he texts back
If I email he emails back

I can't bring myself to call.

I sometimes e-mail and my T sometimes e-mails back, but not always. This is really frustrating when it happens as I don't know whether my T has received it or not - so now I try not to e-mail at all, then I am not left to wonder.

He responds in kind, unless I specifically say "can you call me", or if I am asking for an appointment.

I have never called between sessions, and I don't like talking on the phone, so I wouldn't unless it was an extreme crisis.
If I email(which I do almost every week), she will email back, but sometimes not for days later. I have tried to keep from emailing her from this reason since it just makes me anxious waiting for a reply. Sometimes I will also email her something I want to talk about in session but wont say face to face, she won't reply to those.
Thanks for this!

My T used to answer all of my emails but she made a rule that she only emails back once, at the end of the week, and it's not really an answer to mine. I usually email her a lot right after my session or the next day.

If I call, she will return the call but not always on the same day. She will email me a time when she will call, though.

We don't text.
