Therapists tend to differ on their outside scheduled hours contact policy. Sometimes it is about what other committments they have as well (with children and being in a session with another client and stuff like that).
Mine hasn't talked to me about this at all. I have his office number for both of the places he works. I don't know which day he works where, however. If I called I'd get a secretary and I'd have to leave a message for him to get back to me.
I would do that in the case of an emergency. I wouldn't do it if it wasn't an emergency without checking with him first, however. I don't think he would if it wasn't an emergency. I have had therapists in the past who were okay with it. One used to call me during the week briefly when I was feeling particularly fragile just to check in with me.
I'd ask your t next time you see them.
