In reply to Therapists being available outside therapy, posted by Susan47 on August 4, 2004, at 10:21:59
I am very attached to my T and he is available to me outside of therapy. During work hours I can call him and he always calls back as soon as he can, usually within 2 hours. He calls between session, though, so we can only talk for a few minutes. He has a pager for urgent situations outside of work hours. I have used it once in 4 years. He also gives he a number where I can contact him when he travels for work or vacation. I have never called him when he is out of town but I appreciate the gesture. If I called rountinely outside of office hours we would talk about it I am sure and try to find out why I needed so much extra contact. I already see him 4x/week so I have plenty of access.
