I understand this 100%. It's a huge issue for me, that my T is only compassionate to me because I pay him to be. He shows me in many ways that this is not true, but I don't really trust it. It it is at the core of my issues, that I am forgettable and not really important to the people I care about. He is very good about access and always responds to messages at the office within a few hours. He carries and pager and says that if I need him I can page, but he leaves it up to me to decide if it is necessary. He says that he trusts that I wouldn't page him unless I needed to. I have only done so one time and it didn't turn out very well for me, but I know the access is there. He also gives me the phone number of his hotel when he goes out of town so I can reach him if I need to. I have never done that, and knowing that I can if I need makes it less likely that I would.
