Thanks... the problem is that the paper he gave me when I started (that I signed) says he requires 72 hours (not including weekends) to cancel. He even put an example in. So for my Wednesday @noon appointment, I'd need to call and cancel by noon on Friday. It's really a crazy amount of notice, I know, and it worried me when I saw it.

I understand that I can still cancel, but I'd owe the money, and he's so expensive, I don't want to just send a check, I think.

And, no I'm not sure. I'm kind of a mess. That's part of the problem. My sense is that he's not really going to be able to help me. But, the problem is that I've already been able to share more stuff, and actually *talk* more than I ever have... with 7 previous therapists. I don't know if it's just because I'm older, but there's certainly some things he'd one *right* which makes it much much harder.

The other is the cost... he's so much more expensive than everyone else, it's really causing havoc with my budgeting. And, I think *if* he were able to help, it would be 100% worth it - but I don't know if he can actually help, and I don't know that I want to go broke trying to figure it out

So yeah, I'm not sure I even want to outright quit. I think it might just be better to tell him I'm overwhelmed (the work trip in a few weeks, plus a bunch of other stuff I'm involved in) and that I don't want to schedule another appointment, but want to be able to set up something in a few months if/when things calm down. I think I'll be in a better place to think about it then, and I hate to just slam the door when, like I said, he's done some good things... but also isn't really "getting me".

*thanks*
