I have literally never called my T, but as she has an office line, I'm sure I could call at any time but getting a response is different. I'm not sure she checks her voice mail during her off times.
No texting, which I'm cool with because I'm pretty sure I would never text her because I would feel guilty and that I never "really" needed to.
I can also email anytime. She has set the boundaries that she will not respond unless she feels it is therapeutically necessary, of if I specifically ask for a response. It seems to be hit or miss on whether she checks her work email on the weekends so I don't really expect a response over the weekend even if I ask for one. I'm glad she takes self care time. I think it makes her a better therapist and more able to help me.
