He replied that he only had us down for one hour. My H took off work for this session as H works two hours away. I emailed T back that he possibly forgot that we had decided on two hours instead of one hour, and would he have any time tomorrow for individual therapy since we only have one hour on Friday. As per usual form, he hasn't responded. And I knew he wouldn't.
We've talked about this type of thing a lot. I don't know if he knows how much it has worn me down. I don't know if he gets how fricking important all of this is to me. And his lack of response to me (which, by his own admission, has been calculated) just triggers the **** out of me.

This is appalling. There is nothing about his behavior that is therapeutic. I would feel diminished and would lose my `voice` in a situation like that. I would flat-out find another therapist, because his behavior would feel so destructive to me. Anf mind you, it is my impression that this is an example of his typical way of handling reasonable requests. It`s almost like he`s `trying` to create an angry reaction in you. grrrr
