I thought you were only supposed to call your T to cancel and reschedule sessions. I didn't know you could call for support until I started reading people's posts about that here in the psychotherapy forum. I called my T several times between our first and second session way back when to try to set up the appointment for session 2. Then I called a few months later to cancel a session due to snow. He called right back. I called a couple of months ago the day after therapy to reassure him that I was OK and he needn't do anything drastic (I had become scared he was going to make some calls to third parties that I didn't want him to make.) He called back a few hours later. Then last week, I called him to request an individual session, since I was now only doing couples, and he never called back, even after a whole week.
I really don't like to call him because of fear of his not calling back, fear of rejection.
I am not a phone person at all, so really don't view the phone as a means of getting support. My conversations with T over the phone have not felt "connected" and that is a little hurtful (and not due to any lack on his part). I would rather wait for the real thing in session.
