I have noticed this subject popping up a bit on threads lately and I suppose my own rupture with my new t has got me thinking.
Do you find that therapists think they are too clever and don't have to apologise? Or they don't see us as equals and therefore they don't owe us an apology or is it the fact that they can't admit they were wrong and feel the need to blame their patients for everything.

As most of you know already, my new t whom I have seen for 4 or 5 sessions didn't show up for two of those sessions and one other was extremely late. When I text her to see if she was coming or forgot she rang but I was already in car on way home so she left a voicemail saying she didn't have my name in her diary and apologised, told me to contact her for another appt. She seemed more worried about rescheduling. So that evening I sent her an email saying I would not be going to see her anymore because I felt abandoned and rejected and didn't want to get hurt anymore. Next day she sent a snooty email saying I was choosing to hurt myself- she hadn't forgotten about me and that it was my fault because I was percieving the whole situation entirely wrong. I was disgusted by her lack of remorse and lack of feelings for a client who was hurting and suffered many losses and rejection.

So, I have been thinking about this a lot and have mixed feelings baout the whole thing and about therapists who can't admit they were wrong.
