Maybe because like it or not, their policies are probably different for different patients. My therapist has moved to a "call me anytime" policy because he knows it keeps me calm and keeps me from either calling him too much or having crises.
I don't think he'd urge the same thing for a client who would call him anytime. I remember once he was leaving town for business (yet again) and gave his standard offer to meet me on the weekend before he left if I thought it was needed. As it happened, I was mid-meltdown and thought it might be needed. The look on his face was priceless! As it happened, his out of town trip was cancelled so so was our Saturday session. But I'm not sure he's made that offer since. lol.
