Laura,

I totally understand where you are coming from. My therapist was chronically late until I told him exactly how unprofessional his conduct was. Speak up and tell your therapist exactly how you feel. Many patients in therapy have rejection and abandonment issues. I struggle with the idealizing aspect of therapy, since it often discourages the client from being critical of the therapist's behavior. As much as it hurts, this is an opportunity to explore your feelings and your therapist's disregard for them. If your therapist persists in not honoring their commitment to you, it might be time to consider a different therapist.
