Karen,
I can't imagine why he wouldn't call you back. THAT would hurt my feelings. Did you ask him and did he have an answer? I fight with myself about calling but everytime I have, he has called back, usually within a few hours. Only once did he say he didn't have time to talk to me at length, he had a client coming in but he wanted me to know that he would call me a little later or the next day (my choice) if I needed more time than his current few minutes. He tells me learning to reach out is part of my therapy. I, of course, worry about driving him crazy. I've written about this over and over again!
I'm glad you are committed to the therapy. I have to ask though, because you said you do this, are you focusing on what he can't/won't do, instead of on what he does/will do, to keep him at arms length? You really like what happens during therapy, this is huge. Maybe he can "fix" the other parts?
