Something doesn't seem right about this. I mean, this T is someone you saw for a year and during that year you never missed an appt before, and you made one mistake and she says she is going to leave when your 45 mins are up and that if you don't get there by then you will be charged $50? And then she terminates? this doesn't make sense. Are you sure you are accurately describing the events that lead up to this? If it really went down the way you said, then she is the meanest therapist on the face of this earth! Seriously, you are lucky to be rid of such an uncaring witch! It just doesn't make sense! What else happened? Something else had to have happened. Were there other behaviors that happened prior to this missed appointment that made it the last straw for her? It sounds like she was either angry/frustrated with you or she is burned out. Whatever happened, she handled it poorly and unprofessionally! Sorry that you had this happen. It's frightening to think that this sort of thing happens!
