> Go ahead and email her. I took a risk and started emailing my T, and now I do it a lot. It helps.
**I've emailed her before, once at the end of last summer because I wasn't going to be back until the spring and I wanted her advice. It's strange now that I think about it, I hadn't really been seeing her for that long, and I didn't have a really strong bond with her at that point, and I obviously hadn't seen her since May, but I still felt like I needed her advice.
This semester, I've only emailed her about appointments, or when she's specifically asked me too.

> Also, I can sooo identify with the feeling of missing your T over break. I have one, possibly two more appointments before my break, but I will miss him terribly.**I feel for you. How long will you have to go without an appointment over break?
>It's ok to call her tomorrow. She wouldn't have offered if she didn't mean it. Think about it - she didn't have to offer it at all, and you never would have noticed - the fact that she offered shows she meant it. And even if you're not freaking out, but really missing her, I think it would be ok to call her then too, although I don't know your T.
**You're right, she didn't have to offer at all. Maybe it was just the way she said it, not her tone of voice or anything, just the fact that I was literally on my way out the door... it kind of seemed like an after-thought. Plus, I don't want to be that annoying person who calls/emails for the tiniest thing, because, obviously she has her own life too. [sidenote: do you ever wonder if your T thinks about you, or any of his other clients, outside of the office? I had told my T about this one drink that I like because it's really pretty...it's pretty hard to miss it on the shelf in the liquor store...so she told me that she always sees it when she goes to the liquor store and thinks of me. haha But I wonder if she thinks of me other times too.] I think I'm also afraid to become (more) dependent on her.
I kind of want her to email me, but I know that's unrealistic for therapeutic reasons and stuff, right?> Keep posting here. Your situation sounds SOOO similar to mine. And do I ever wish I knew when my T went where so I could cross paths with him!
