Some number of years ago, when I was at the height of my workaholicism, I went on vacation with my family to a cottage on a beach. Traditionally, I would read on the beach while the kids swam. This year my reading book was a book on Management Styles. When I returned to work I wondered why I didn't feel refreshed. Of course, the answer was that I hadn't taken a vacation. I had just moved my job to the beach.
So my hesitency to talk to my therapist while he is on vacation is two-fold. I don't want to intrude on his rest and relaxation (and if I were a therapist, I would need some of that), and I don't want to encourage him to be a workaholic.
I guess I have to talk to him about it...
Your point about not calling even though you can is a problem, too. With my old therapist I basically couldn't call unless I was hospital material. Aren't there things to be said for calling before you get that far gone?
