I had a therp who charged $25 for intersession calls that lasted more than 15 minutes. I guess I thought that was reasonable, I did take his time and it was in fact therapy. Now my pdoc basically has an open-door policy, I have his home phone # (which I have probably used 3 times in 3 years- one a suicidal call at 2am) and he has never complained. What has really helped is e-mail, I go through periods where it's almost daily, but I know he can read it at his leisure and I don't feel guilty. They are all so different, I think it's crucial to learn their boundaries and work within them.
take care, judy
