I adore my therapist, but I don't want him to be popping up on my phone when I'm not expecting it. That would make me anxious and freak me out.
Do you think she might have that philosophy? I think it might be a good idea to call her and tell her you were anxious to connect or whatever - that way you can give her an opportunity to demonstrate her caring and let you know that you need to see it.

Never really thought about this. I, most of the time, initiate the contact of course. But it has happened in the past that T contacted me first. So, especially in these circumstances, it seem to me that (despite the policies etc) this would be a case where she definitely could contact me.
But if she doesn't, I guess there is a reason for that and I have to accept it.
And as some people have said here too... She probably knows I would contact her if I needed her.
I still don't really get it, but I'm trying to...
