hi elana, i'm going through the same thing. i was going to post about it, but i'll just tag on to yours if that's ok..
i used to have a "you can call 50 times a day" policy with my therapist. we've been working together for over 1.5 years, and i've called a handful of times. recently, i've been calling a lot more, and eventually, she added, "if it's a crisis" to the 50/day policy. i stopped calling her for a few weeks, but i've been calling again.
just yesterday, i called and needed to talk to her, but gave her the option of calling me back either last night or today. she finally called today, but i'm so hurt that she didn't call yesterday. i know it's not much, but it really hurts. i feel like she doesn't care, even though i know that's not the case. not to mention, she called and addressed herself by first and last name - something that irks me, and have told her so. i told her it makes me feel very disconnected from her.
at any rate, i guess i don't have a point. i agree with sawe though, it's ok to call your therapist if you need to.
