I don't see a substantive difference between email and after-hours phone calls in terms of boundary issues - seems like the same ground rules should apply to both.
My former therapist and
I email occasionally, but that's priarily since she moved away. My current therapist gave me her email address b/c she wanted me to send her digital photos of my art - we didn't discuss wat, if anything, else it could be used for but that may be because she knows I'm very hesitant about contacting people.I sometimes wish I could email my pdoc, esp. since my reluctance to make calls sometimes means I have gaps when I run out of meds and am procrastinating, but he hasn't offered that as an option - I think he prefers to talk to me so he can get a better feel for how I'm doing.
