If this was me and my therapist I would stick it out too. therapists are human too. sometimes things come up in their personal time that they cannot get away from right away. On my therapists voicemail her answering message is that she will get back to the caller as soon as she can and that may take 2 days. Her voice mail message also states a number to call if the person can't wait for her to call back. The number is the therapy agencys main number which people can call 24 hours a day and some one is always answering and someone is always on call. then she tells her clients that she gets about 35 calls a day so the 2 days is the least amount of time she can commit to and it may be longer.

years ago I started setting up a back up therapist. I didn't like calling a hot line number where my counselor worked and getting whoever. So that counselor and I chose a back up person for me to call. That worked out so great that I do it every time I am in therapy.

By having a back up I know I don't have to worry about who's on call and having to explain alot of background on myself just to get the on call person to understand.

By having a back up I don't have to wait for my therapist if she can't get away right away.

I just call the agency number and tell them my name and phone number, the name of my therapist and the name of my back up then ask them to call my therapist and ask her if she will take my call or if the call should be forewarded to my back up.

I have never had any problems of having a back up because in setting up the back up I sign a release form so that the back up and my therapist can keep in touch so that we are all working the same way with me and my problems.

Maybe you can do this too since your therapist is having trouble right now with returning your calls. That way if it is an emergency you have the hel[p you need right away.

Hang in there.
