I understand the value of the client being responsible for taking initiative to call and/or communicate their needs. Really I do. I think my therapist does too. 90% of the time, he leaves it to me to initiate calls or extra sessions. I think perhaps the issues a client is working on might influence the responsiveness. When i'm very regressed he is much more likely to be protective or set things up so that we have lots of contact.
I guess I should stop looking at this as right or wrong but perhaps, as you have said, it is a matter of style and a therapist's way of working.
