In reply to T cancelled AGAIN!!!, posted by fairywings on May 2, 2006, at 13:11:23
How awful for you. Seven times in seven months does seem excessive. It certainly would feel excessive to me, even if each time it was an understandable reason. Although frankly, overbooking you twice is not cool. If it's his policy to overbook in order to protect himself from lost income from no-shows and cancellations, he should tell you in advance. If it was a mistake, he or whoever does his scheduling should make efforts to ensure it does not happen again. I know I was mortified when I did that accidentally once. I've almost had it happen again, but fortunately, in reviewing my schedule for the week, I caught it in advance and called. I know I've got to double check now in order to prevent that from happening again.
And about the note, I'd tell him how you perceive his response and what it means to you. It's hard to share painful feelings about a T with a T, but it's quite often a useful thing in the therapy.
And yes, experiencing a "break" in the therapy relationship has sent me in a tailspin before. It's an awful feeling. I hope it passes soon for you.
