Does it sound to you that she is permantely changing where she works and will tell me in person that it was not her intention to end our relationship but she has to.
I got that impression from the email but I am not in the best mode of mind right now.
The whole private practice thing got to me to. You have scheduled appt books, what would make private practice any different than regular practice? Is that really typical?
########, I hear how hurt you are, and when my tire blew I was most concerned that it was your session that would be first impacted. Though it is not unusual for therapists in private practice to change appnintment times, it should rarely be within 24 hours of the session. I have recently been working in ###### #### ( I scratched out the town) during the daytime, and have learned that that will be a permanent adjustment in my profession. I want to be able to talk with you about it in person but don't want another moment to go by with you thinking that I think you're worthless. It is not my intention to end our relationship, and lok forward to talking in person tomorrow. Take care, #####

her email does sound a bit confusing, doesn't it? i think the main points she wants you to take away are:
1) she doesn't want to stop working with you
2) she doesn't think you're worthless and that is why she's responding so quickly instead of waiting until tomorrow to talk things through properly.
i am a bit confused about her comment about private practice therapists, and also what relevance her working in that other town has to do with you. but i think it might be best to see what she has to say and get that clarified, (((hangingon))).
i'm still proud of you for bringing up this issue with her. she owes it to you to be completely upfront about what is going on. it doesn't sound to me like she is going to abandon you. maybe her comment about the other town is that she is finding it a bit difficult to adjust right now? i'm not sure.
