My T has called me a couple times when I was going through some difficult times, even without us discussing it in session first. I found it very helpful and comforting to know that even though there are boundaries in therapy, someone still cared enough to be concerned and was pulling for me.
It made a world of difference to know that I mattered enough for my T to take the time and effort to connect with me in this way. I don't think it had anything to do with ethics really, just plain old fashioned being a caring human being.
