My T and I actually just had a good discussion about this during my last session. I've tried calling her and I've e-mailed her once and I usually don't get a response. This week she knew I was having a hard time cuz I left her a voicemail and she got an e-mail I sent like 2 weeks ago. She explained her e-mail hadn't been working and she just got it fixed.
My T has always told me to call her if I need her and she said that again this session and I just replied "I'm not really comfortable calling you or e-mailing you cuz you don't tend to respond." She explained that she has had a lot of things come up personally lately, but that she takes her job very seriously and feels like she has a responsibility to her patients to always be available. I thought that was kinda interesting cuz I think that is something that is extremely difficult for anyone to do, but I also feel like a T should do it cuz you never know when something will happen.
So yeah basically my T and I talked and she is having me e-mail her everyday to give her a heads up on how things have been and I can call her if necessary. Oh she also explained that she won't usually respond unless you ask her to call you back. Idk maybe really try and talk to your T and explain what you need and try to work something out. I'm so much more at ease now that I can just e-mail her and we actually talked about it!
