A lot of us have messages from long ago saved for times when we need extra comfort. In terms of object relations theory, I think it would be considered a transitional object, like a security blanket. Helps you touch back to your connection and helpful attachment to your T.
Plus, I figure a voicemail is a gift from your T to you.
I used to have this great long, chatty message from my T asking me if I could change my session time that week, and mentioning in a sweet jokey way something we'd talked about in the previous session. I accidentally deleted it a few months back, and I cried when I realized it. I wish I could have saved it forever.
