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."

**** that. I'm sorry, but the therapy hour shouldn't be about 'multitasking' (aka: doing two things badly). This makes me angry. I put up with a lot of **** from my T, but actually
texting in session would drive me to violence. I can't
stand that BS. I wonder what she'd say if
you started texting.
ETA: The office phone rings, too (actually, lights up--the ringer is usually off) but he doesn't pay any attention to that. This was his cell (which I don't usually see and he certainly doesn't play with. I'm not sure if it's a personal or work cell.) He did clutch onto a walkie-talkie for dear life once...but I was quite agitated and he seemed (in retrospect) a little worried for his safety.
Maybe one of your T's clients will attend session actively psychotic. That'll teach her to turn her back on crazy...
