Actually, the phone contact is supposed to be limited to skills coaching. It is not supposed to be for whenever the client "wants" to talk to T. Zoo, I am thinking your T may be over-extending herself to her clients, trying to "be there" for them all the time. They have to have limits or else they will burn out. Your T sounds like a very caring person and maybe she is overwhelmed because she isn't setting the appropriate limits.
