I usually say that too when I leave messages for either therapist or psychiatrist. I always mean it when I say it but I often regret it bitterly afterwards because they always take me at my word and don't call back. To be fair they always have called back when I've asked them to. I guess I think that telling them when they don't need to call back is my half of an unspoken bargain or a reward to them for calling back the rest of the time. Or maybe a magical incantation?
Do you think that therapists responds differently to different clients? I'm inclined to think that the difference is in the therapist - some call back everyone and some call back no one - but I don't really know.
