It's interesting because I was thinking about it, and it's probably good based on my relationship with my therapist and how I am with phone calls that she doesn't give me her number when she's gone. I'd probably spend most waking minutes trying to figure out if I was in a bad enough place to call her or not. I'd pick up the phone and put it down, pick it up and put it down, and drive myself crazy. It's better for me I think to know that she is gone, I can't call her, I have to rely on my other supports, and then she will be back. (It's taken me a very long time to believe each time that she will come back. Sometimes it's still hard...) I call her often during the week so it's different than your relationship with your therapist, where you hardly call her.
It's nice to see that therapists are sensitive to the unique relationships they have with each client and make decisions based on the specific relationship.
