and any other T types lurking out there.
How would you tell a client that they were annoying you?
I send my T faxes and mebbe phone 1x/wk or lv. message etc.She don't call back usu. unless I have a specific question, which is fine.
Sometimes I just wonder if she's actually there and thats why I might call, and sometimes I wonder if she's got my faxes too,or if they didn't go thru right.
I just don't want to be a pest. She been real good to me and I don't want to put her in a bad position to have to hurt me cuz I bugging her.
But at the same time I think she don't mind some connection.
I just have a THING bout being a pest.(Youngest child in family of 4 kids).
I trying to learn its ok to connect.
This is so very hard for me.
Just writing this is making me dizzy :-(
Thanks in advance.

Well, a few things come to mind. One is that T's are responsible for drawing their own boundries. If you are calling too much, etc. your T needs to tell you that it is too much and how much is appropriate. You can't read her mind and you are not expected to.
However, it might help to directly ask. You could say pretty much what you said here. That you contact her for XYZ reasons and you want to make sure that is okay w/ her b/c you really value working with her. Ask her what communication is okay b/t sessions and what is not.
Also, remember that even if your T tells you that you are calling too much, that doesn't mean that she dislikes you, doesn't want to work w/ you, etc.
Hope this helps!
Best,
EE
