On the flip side, my t double booked me one time. It was my regular appointment and he saw me instead of the other person.

He took the other client to his office for a moment and I could hear her shouting at him through the door.

She came out crying and looked at me and yelled "well, I guess you won!" and stormed out.

I felt terrible.

Now, if he had an obligation to see her for whatever reason, and I had gotten bumped, I would have felt very hurt too.

There are always two, sometimes three or four, sides to every coin and developing the skills to see those sides, absorb the disappointment and talk about it are important things to acquire.

I'm sure you're on your way to that, and perhaps it might help to look at this event as an opportunity to learn? Extend past your hurt and into some understanding maybe?

Having said all that, one of my all time favorite scenes in the TV series "In treatment" is when the therapist is late for an appointment and the client had to stand outside in the cold waiting. When he finally arrives, and starts climbing the stairs to his office, she follows, but pours her scalding hot latte into one his plants. Hilarious!
