<font color="green">Because my T also sees my dd I have all of her numbers, home, office and cell. I have her email, home address (I would never use that!) and she has an emergency number for me to use too.
Do I use them? not so much for me but I have used them more for crissises with my dd. It is only the last hmm, year that I have called much for myself. She usually calles me back in a very timely fashion. </font> __________________ dalila Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere. -Erma Bombeck |

Actually Sky, I found this ringer that I would like to apply to his office phone number...
It is this stern voice saying 'picking up the phone...God is calling....pick up the phone... God is calling'... My T has a great sense of humor and he knows how I am...in fact maybe I'll put that on there and play it for him next session. Have him call my cell number from his office phone. Wouldn't that be a riot!

office number... since it is a 2 T office.. no receptionest... they use an outside answering service.... so you call the office number.. get the service...tell them whether it is a "meltdown"... and a need to call back "NOW".. or can wait awhile... or if just a general message they put you thru to voice mail..
my pdoc... is in a psychriatric hospital.. outpatient clinic.. so real emergency... real... like life threatening - call the pdoc.. which is fine with me.. since I have seen him monthly for years... and he knows me thru and thru... email... heheheheheheh... What's that?????????????? |

With Steve I had his office number and his the number to get to his phone after hours. I liked that...I could also talk to the after hours T if I needed to.
With my current T she said if I needed her to she'd call me back after the clinic closed but I left her a message the other day with the instructions to call me back even left her my phone number and no phone call so now I don't don't trust her to call me back. If it's an emergency during the day I can talk to the nurse if its after hours I'm to call the hospital. Jbug __________________ I appreciate long walks especially when taken by people who annoy me.

I have his office number and his cellphone. He usually returns messages at his office within a day. Occasionally he doesn't check his messages though. He told me if it was important to be sure to call him on his cellphone. He's returned my calls a couple of times on the weekend which I always thought was wonderful. I have another number saved that he's called from -- probably his home number, but I would never call it -- just saved it so I would know it was him calling. I've never actually called his cellphone. Too needy.
 I prefer to leave a message on his office number and wait. Can't stand to feel intrusive although he tries to break me of this notion. I was worried I was keeping him on the phone too long on the weekend once, and he was like "I called you back because I wanted to" (trying to get me to stop worrying about how he felt). I love my T.Sidony |

I have my T office number. She has an emergency pager number on her greeting. She calls back within about 20 min if you call that. I have never called her but it is nice to know I can.

I have his home phone number because he works out of his home, his office number at the hospital, and his email. I usually contact him via email.

I have her office phone number. It's a clinic and I can dial her extension and leave her a message when I want. She is only in the office Mon. Wed and Fri. but she checks her voice mail more often.
I have my pdoc's email and I do send her a couple messages now and then, maybe 3-4 per month. She always answers me back. I really would like my psychologist's email but she refuses to give it out. It makes me wonder if my pdoc cares more about me; she is the director of the clinic and very busy yet she always answers my emails, even if it's just a few words sometimes. |

I have my T's office number and he responds relatively quickly when he is out of the office (guess he picks up his messages regularly). The message on his answering machine gives a crisis number to call if it is an extreme emergency.
