Reply to "How often do you contact T outside of session?"

in my 'what are the rules' session yesterday, she said (dbt therapy) that phone calls and emails were fine, that is considered 'a part' of our therapy. middle of the night calls, she didn't say were NOT ok, but i assured her that wouldn't be a problem.

she gave me her personal email, and asked me to email her the day before session, so i could get whatever i needed off my chest and sleep well (i thought that was gracious, and really appreciated it). i assured her i wouldn't abuse these things. being dbt, i think the rules are a little generous towards crisis and trauma, so, they are used to that.

i felt much better knowing the rules, so i would recommend asking, if you worry, like i do, about overstaying my welcome and irritating her.

just knowing i CAN call or email probably will make me do it less?? we'll see, but, i appreciate the rules being more lenient here.

t1, rarely, i think twice, after session on the drive home,
