I can think of some scenarios to explain him I guess - but (I am very sorry to say) not for yr T, if he knew the facts & didn't tell you, especially since he was the one helping you handle MT's sudden termination. I can only speak for myself but that would be a deal breaker.
from where I stand, your cancelling this appt to give yourself time to breathe and process this information shows a lot of maturity, LIT.  I think you're doing very well, this has got to be immensely hard ! ! !

SAWE, thank you. Anything is
possible. T told me most of what happened when I saw him last. I knew my T had accepted the job AND, as T shared during my last session, he continued to work part time. He wasn't sure how he came to decide who he would continue to see and who he would refer out. Clearly, he didn't seem to agree with his decision, but it was MT's decision not T.
MT shared he was unable to see clients because of his new job. Untrue. My T admittedly agreed. MT responded when I emailed asking if we could work through his sudden termination saying, because he was no longer in private practice, he would not have the ability to work through it, however, we could be referred to another MT. Also, partly untrue....of course, we could be referred to another MT, just not because he was no longer in practice.
During my last session, I looked at T and told him I was angry at MT AND mad at him. He wanted the opportunity to work through it this session.
Two weeks is a very long time to have to deal with the aftermath. As much as I cherish my T, I just need to take a few steps back and breathe.
