Hangingon,

I would be just as distressed as you are if my t canceled every other week. I think that is not acceptable. For a family emergency, yes. But if she cancels that frequently, then it sounds like a weakness when it comes to planning. I suggest you definitely bring it up with her. You should not worry about her not liking you. You have a valid concern. You can bring it up nicely, but I would at least bring it up. Maybe instead of voicing it as "You always cancel. . .", put it in I-language. . ."I've noticed that you've had to cancel alot of my sessions lately. While I know it's probably for a good reason, it makes me feel (blank). Then tell her how you feel. I'm guessing it makes you feel like you are unimportant, your needs are not important, or that she doesn't care about you. Or perhaps you feel rejected or abandoned. That's the hard part. . .spitting out how you really feel. But that's the heart and soul of therapy. Go ahead, talk to her. It'll be OK. If you don't, then her canceling and your hurt feelings could erode the therapy relationship.
