In reply to my feelings were hurt today :-(, posted by obsidian on October 23, 2008, at 22:55:28
I'm used to this happening. My T's phone rings at least once during our session and she usually checks to see if she needs to get it. And I mean it rings loud, always at the worst point. I've accepted it, and I would leave the room if she asked because I understand her so well.
My pdoc's phone vibrates all the time, but he has never taken a call. The vibrating is very annoying and he knows I hate it. He was away for almost two weeks and the other night he said it had vibrated more than 11 times in the last hour. I told him that's what he gets for going away. Everyone saves up their crisis until he is back.
He is a techie and has a fancy laptop that he writes his notes in. We've talked about how much all this technology bothers me during "my" hour and he has more respect for my feelings now.
I don't know; it's a tough one. If you were having a dire emergency, would you want your T to take the call? Pls, I don't mean to sound harsh, so don't take it that way.
all that said, I don't think they should take calls or even have their phones on. Your time is your time and if it bothers you, talk about it.
