Yes I had a hard time coming to terms with the fact my dad put first those he was counselling. He may have 'agreed' to this professionally - but I certainly didn't. So think about that family. Their parent may have made an unrealistic commitment - BUT THEY DIDN'T. How does it not make sense to respect this? If it can't wait until when the office reopens maybe it is bad enough to seek immediate attention: ER? Crisis Line?
Sorry folks but I stand firm on this.

Well, it's hard to believe that you're the only one who respects their T's right to have a private life
because you're not the only one. It's not illogical to seek reassurance from a therapist at times other than your 50 minute time slot
especially if you've had trauma in your life. What's illogical is to assume everyone who feels the need to email or text their T during non-business hours needs to go to the ER. Seriously, that's just nonsensical.
You have a ton of baggage about your father and his choice of how to handle his personal and professional life. And you choose to let that impact how you deal with your mental health professional, which is fine by the way, you do you after all. But, you're putting your own experiences not just on your therapist but on
all therapists which is a tad narcissistic.
You don't know better than the people here who have relationships and conversations with their Ts and you certainly don't know better than the therapists themselves.
Your argument isn't a terrible one, but your know-it-all attitude and insulting tone is where the problem really lies.
