I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Losses like that are disorienting and do seem to unleash all the past losses. I'll keep all of you in my prayers.
I think the email you wrote to former new T was fine although I do think it would have been OK to provide feedback around the money stuff. I always find it interesting when the business aspects creep into the time we are already paying for, kind of like double payment. This isn't an issue for me, thank goodness, but I've heard it more than once from friends. I think all therapists, of any kind, need to be reminded from time to time that we are paying them for their "hands on" time, which should be at a high enough rate to cover the other stuff that takes up their time. I know my home visitors work on a 60/40 split - 60% in front of clients and the other 40% to do the paperwork. They should never, ever do paperwork on client time nor should they ever ask a client to sort out billing issues.
Ug - bad timing but that is usually how these things get revealed. I'll be interested if she follows up with you and wonders about her recent behavior during sessions.
