>And he apologized, and said that perhaps he had learned to do that (not with me, but in general) because he didn't want to encourage long calls that he wasn't paid for. So we worked out that I would pay for calls over a couple of minutes. And from then on I offered to pay for several calls. He generally turned me down, but I think it reassured him. So now he's warmer on the phone than he used to be. Still not his best, but
better than he used to be.Dinah,
He was making you PAY for phonecalls? I can't believe that. If my pdoc said that to me, that would be the END of our therapy. He always tells me I'm free to call him anytime. BUT the thing is his secretery answers the phone and gives him messages. I have NO WAY of getting a hold of him on my own like calling say, a pager. It really irritates me. He isn't ever there for me, like now when I really need him to be. I even emailed him like three days ago and NO REPLY. I am more convinced than ever that he is trying to get rid of me, so why won't he just come right out and say it?
