My therapist has always allowed phone calls between sessions. I have difficulty making telephone calls to her because I don't want to bother her. She works part time now and i feel guilty when I call her and leave a message on her days off. She told me that she chooses to listen to voice messages on her days off and she chooses to call clients (me) back on her days off. She has assured me countless times that it is OK to contact her. I have her office number, cell number and home number. I know she woud not give out all of those numbers if she did not want me to call her should the need arise. But it is still hard to make the calls to her. I told her our session this past Saturday that I wanted to call her because something great happened with my son but I knew that was not an emergency. She smiled and said I could have called her evenjust to leave a essage it would have been fine. Also she lets me write and send letters between sessions to get some of the feelings out so we can discuss them in the next session.
