They hide behind their made up ethics a lot. There is nothing unethical about a professional of any sort being contacted by the people who hire them.

I was under the impression that it's OK as long as they include some sort of disclaimer in their email signature stating that it's not a confidential form of communication, possibly citing HIPAA laws (US) and that if the wrong person receives it, to immediately delete it. At least that's what past and current T's have done. Unless by "ethics" they mean the idea of doing therapy over email or text, or perhaps just having outside contact in general? It's also possible that therapist didn't want to do email, so they used ethics as a reason, because it's harder to argue with. |

My statement only refers to the outside context; I don’t know about email and text that’s interesting info which I may discuss with my T. Ty

For regular ongoing after-hours support, yes. Being an on-call personal support system is well beyond the limits of those jobs, and of a therapists job. |

T's are often cocreators in the dynamic of on call support system with their clients. They could start out how they were going to hold out instead of contributing to the problem as much as they do without taking responsibiility.
Yes, of course threats to safety change the game and can alter treatment. |

I want to contact him sooo bad between sessions but I do not have a reason besides just needing to have contact with him and that is not an excuse......

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |
