For personal phone calls he was wide open. The funny thing is that he functioned as my liaison too for all my other doctors. He was always the first one we called, even before my GP and then he would call her, my cardiologist, my optometrist, my psychiatrist in an out-of-town hospital when needed, can't think who else.Oh, and another non-psych hospital.
I always think, though, if he had come to the first psych hospital with me I would have let myself be admitted which would have saved a whole lot of mess. He would consider that way out of boundaries and he never would have cancelled his next patient either. |

I've never asked to go for walks, and I'm not sure that he would even if I asked.
If I ever got married, I would invite him to my wedding. I think he might come. I don't know. I'd like it if he'd walk me down the aisle, which he almost certainly wouldn't do, but a girl can dream... |

My longtime T mentioned going to client weddings before. I never saw her outside the office, though. My previous pdoc once met me in a parking lot to give me a prescription.

He took me to an ice cream shop. He drove me 1.5 hours away to a big city for my lawsuit mediation, sat with me all day during it. He flew to another state with me and 3 other people to attend a group facilitator training (hearing voices group). And he took me out to lunch one day to celebrate something

He also used to meet with my pdoc with me every time and basically talk for me, lol. That was probably not healthy

Nothing except calling me twice to check up on me. He doesn't do emails or texts either.
I would not expect him to do anything else. He has pretty strict boundaries which I believe is a good thing for both of us. |

my T offered to go to an AA meeting with me recently. I declined because I have no desire to go to AA, but thought it was nice she offered to go with me.
She also told me once that she would visit me in the hospital if something bad had happened to me. |

My therapists of the last 2+ decades have been accommodating with out-of-session contact depending on the technology of the day. None of my therapists text and I don't like to text either. Standby therapist mentioned she is getting a new phone system and I am guessing she will be upgrading to a smartphone, but I hope she won't think that I am open to texting.
I forgot, they have attended award ceremonies and talks I have given. |

We've gone on 1 field trip, there have been phone calls, emails, and she's visited me 2 times in the hospital.
