Petra,

I would have several issues with your therapist. First, not hearing from the guy after sending him 3 emails is a big deal. Whenever I called or sent an email, my T knew something was going on and was very timely in her response. Trust was a huge issue with me and we worked hard to establish it and to keep it. I couldn't open up if I didn't trust her.........being ignored would have destroyed the relationship.

Second, I would be very put-off with his phone etiquette. I don't care who I am with, if they keep looking at their phone while we are talking, I'm done and excuse myself. I can understand if someone is expecting a call, but habitually needing to check the phone is rude. I think being a slave to electronic devices and being available 24/7 has a negative impact on interpersonal relationships.

Okay, showing my age....shutting up now.

Regards,

Sabra
