You know, if I remember correctly, Marsha Linehan's DBT requires that clients learn to call their therapists. It's hard to learn to do, but they really would rather be called than wait until there is a huge disaster. I have trouble calling mine after hours or on the weekend, and try not to. But he always ends the session telling me to call him if I need to, and assuring me that he really means it.
I think it's pretty common for a large portion of the patient population to feel reluctant and guilty about calling their therapist. It's something you can work on.
I hope you're feeling better, Daisy.
