It's funny because I learned this lesson on the other end. I would have students from my classes, especially my childbirth classes, call and say that. So I would wait until class the next week. And of course they would say, "didn't you get my message?" Now I call back.
With my therapist, it doesn't matter what I say, unless it is to confirm that I got a message from him or something equally mundane. He typically calls back, even if it is to say, I got your message, or to check in about whatever I said. I can remember once saying, "this is an update, etc. and REALLY, you don't have to call me back. I'm fine." And he didn't that time. But I meant it and was OK with that.
Why is it so complicated? I guess I'm back to my core issue of bothering people. *sigh*
