Okay I'm just going to say this, but I am really shocked that an adult would act like this. I know that therapy is tough and that you are attached to your T, but forcing him to leave his office and throwing away the putty you bought him is just not okay.
We are adults. Adults do not act that way. You need to be understanding, even of your T. There was a mistake made. Mistakes happen, so you come back the next time and you tell him how it made you feel, you shouldn't act out like that.
You said you didn't even consider the other client. Maybe me and you are different, maybe we have different goals in mind, but I could NEVER be so selfish as to not consider another client. I was extremely attached to my old therapist and I gladly gave away time slots on a few occasions, because I was concerned about his other clients really needing immediate help. Did I want to be with him? I did. Did I want to spill my guts? I did. But someone else needed him more then me, and I didn't need to know why.
I'm not quite attached to my new therapist, so maybe I'm not coming from the same spot. But if I got double booked I would hand over the slot to the other person in 2 seconds flat. I have formed supports outside of therapy that could balance me for a week.
You're in therapy. I assume that means you want to get better. So part of getting better is learning to balance everything. You've been with him for six years? Maybe you need a new T. One that doesn't allow you to act this way.
