Oh definetely Daisy. I go through cycles of needyness all the time, but mostly just while a "crisis" of sorts in the midst. However, I tend to down-play my crisis and just make small talk or call him to check an appointment time, even when I need to talk. I don't want to be too needy.
When I had my flashback, I called him several times that week, but under the guise of changing appointments around. And now, since he told me I may be referred out, I call him an hour after sessions to argue about what happened, ect. It seems the only time I ever call him is when I have some sort of crisis, but I always disguise it as something else, as "I'm not supposed to have a crisis, I'm not supposed to need him, I'm not even sure what constitutes a crisis, ect"
