My T has his stupid iPhone on his desk, right next to where he sits. It will ring once in a while, but he has never answered it...he grabs it up, turns it off, apologizes for not having the ringer off and that's the end of it. He also has an office phone, and sometimes the receptionist will buzz him but he answers it. I assume that means he has a call going to voicemail or something? He ONCE took a call that was an emergency; the other clinician in the office wasn't there and my T had to take it. He explained and apologized right away.

I always have my phone turned off in session. It makes me CRAZY that people have no discretion sometimes. Like they don't realize it's OK to be unavailable sometimes.

My T will sometimes say, "let me play devils advocate for a moment" when he feels the need to show me another perspective. That pisses me off.
