My T and pdoc sometimes answer phones during session, but therapy is.. different.. in my country. Whereas in the US it appears to be "you pay the T so you're the boss", in my country it's "the T allows you to come so T is the boss".

I understand this feels disrespectful. Ideally (by ideally, I mean what I would like to see, but would never happen in my country, but would/should probably be realistic in the US) the T would say at the beginning of the session, "My daughter is ill so if she calls or texts I need to answer" or something. And filing her nails? That feels really disinterested.
