But my therapist sucks like that. You should hold yours to a higher standard. Reading texts annoys me --if you wouldn't do it at dinner, you shouldn't do it in therapy (he, at least, does not do this). And I don't know about the whole 'does it to get you to stick up for yourself' thing. I hope not--that's a pretty lousy thing for anyone to do, and I'd hope your T would be able to communicate more directly, and not play stupid little games like that.

Wow.....so sorry you deal with that! As much as they get paid (I mean, unless they are expecting an urgent call) I think they just ought to be able to leave their phones alone for 50 minutes. I have NEVER heard her office phone ring...I'm assuming she has the ringer off on that one.
But, as far as phone usage during session, this is also the same T who was texting back and forth with me while on a phone session with another client! When I found this out, I ended the conversation. She called it "multitasking."
