I've felt the same way

Both of my Ts reminded me they take care of themselves and would only answer or call back when it would be a good time for them, too.

So if T is eating dinner and she wants to eat dinner... She's going to check her messages and respond when she can and is able.

Try to hold trust in your T that they are and will attend to their needs and hold their boundaries.

I only call my T during the day, I do email him whenever though and he has called me on one occasion at night when I was having an emergency, I had no clue he was going to which shocked me.
I would also feel like a bother after hrs. Since they too need their time away but I would not feel as intrusive to email, I do not have texting with my T, email they can respond when able after hrs.
But if they offer you to reach out to them I would in case of emergencies, she sounds very caring.

Rachel, It took me a very, very long time to call. Instead I chose to suffer in silence which only hurt "me". He had no idea what I was feeling or going through simply because I did not call and want to "bother" him. I learned long ago I was not important; that is all changing now and we begin to learn how to ask, yes ask, out loud, for what we need and want. The needs are real. That word is very powerful and important, and the T will appreciate you calling/reaching out because it will show a sign of growth, maturity and inner strength. You will feel really good about yourself when you overcome this fear. When they say it's okay to call...they really do mean it. Just that little bit of real contact can bring you back. I email T all the time, he gave me permission because he knows the need I have for constant contact. The emails are not silly but I have driven him crazy at times and he understands and accepts me. Mutual respect is key. Replace the fear with faith.

Well, the decision is already made for me. I go to a wonderful T at a city health clinic.
but no way to call personally, text, or email. Also the schedule is 'first come first serve'; so, my appointment is weekly for awhile, then no opening for a month sometimes! I'm in deep transference stuff with her, and waiting a month is pure agony. The public social services are so clueless it's pathetic. I wish I could afford a private T who makes her own schedule.

I think Cat said it best:

I don't think she'd be telling you that you can call if she didn't mean it. T can hold the boundaries for both of you.
