River, I had a problem with my T at one point, he scheduled me and forgot to put it down in his book. When I got there he had someone else in therapy. And he pretended he never scheduled me. I was really hurt because I know that wasn't right.
So, the next session I talked about it and he appologized and told me that he was burning the candle at both ends and made the mistake. I had to clear that up because I can't be in therapy with someone who is not honest with me.

It is really important that you trust your T River. If you are afraid of your T maybe you should see if you can find a female T to work with. Men tend to want to FIX and can get impatient, whereas a woman T can be more patient. I have a Man and I wasn't sure it was going to work out with my delicate history. It ended up working out though he did express that he was a fixer type and was being patient with me.
In the end he recognized that being patient was more productive in my case and he has learned from that. Every patient is a little different, so therapists are always learning.
