<font color="green">My therapist is usually amazing about returning calls, but there have been a couple of times that she didn't. Once the office person quit shortly after taking my message, another time her dad had just died and I was not aware of that. and the only other time she was terribly sick herself. I understood but I hated it anyway. It is so hard when you become so dependant on them and for whatever reason they are not there. I have fears that my therapist will burn out or get sick of me [huge abandonment issues here] so I tell myself I am glad she takes care of herself. Besides if she doesn't take care of herself who will take care of me???

Anyway my point, and I do have one, is that perhaps your therapist just is not able to contact you at the moment and will as soon as he is able to.

Safe hugs if you want them.</font>
