No, you read it right. I know I can call if I have an emergency, of course, but he has never said anything like, "call me if you need me". Becuse I am in analysis, and go to him five days a week now, everything has sort of "broken wide open". It has increased the pain I feel, but I know he knows that, and that I have opportunities to express it and seek his support every day. It is probably just me- I don't want to bother him in the evenings about the same stuff we are working on every morning. He's tremendously kind, understanding and empathic, so, I'm pretty sure I'd get a warm response if I did call. I guess I just feel a bit more self-sufficient and self-respecting not doing it! Maybe some of his other patients call all the time!
