Hi Redhouse,
My T is very accessible by phone. She uses her home phone number as her office number and in the first session she told me *call me anytime you need me, but I won't answer in the middle of the night.*
I feel guilty calling her, but she's never said I'm being a pest. I've called her weekends and left her a frantic message while she was on vacation and she called back within a day. I felt guilty about leaving her a message while she was gone, but I was having a major meltdown and didn't want to talk to some stranger who was on call for her.
My T is really great about phone calls. Emails, too. Though she never talks/writes much, she would rather see me in person. It's more like a quick crisis relief until my next session or an emergency session. Talk about guilt, I hate having her squeeze me in.
