I get what you are saying but this is pretty common with DBT therapists. The idea is that you call when you are in the heat of the emotion and struggling with unhealthy behaviors. When you call, they give you “phone coaching” to help you practice skills. There are lots of guidelines for the calls, like what you can/can’t talk about, how long the calls last, when a call is warranted, etc. Some Ts are of course more lenient and flexible when it comes to these guidelines than others.
