I don't think things are that black and white - clients do have different situations. I know the one time I called the first one I see to set up a second appointment in the week - she acted over-the-top glad I did so. She mistakenly believes I will not request assistance from people if I think it would be useful - I do, we just do not agree on when and what would be useful. I have never done it again (mostly because of her over-exhuberance which was distressing to me)
The second one tried to get me to call her more in between appointments - and acted all super happy the couple of times I tried it. I did not find it super useful - but the therapist seemed to think they needed to tell me a lot that it was good I did so (I did not bother saying how unuseful it had been).
So it is possible, that some of them find, with some clients, that it is a good thing rather than a bad thing.
