Interesting aspect. I gave my T a clear and concise reason for cancelling the next session and I also wrote to her that I did want to solve the matter, not that I wanted to end it all together. But itīs though absolutely possible that she acted in the way you describe.
I think she might have had the thoughts you mention, that I thought poorly of her knowledge but the big question the is - why not ask me? Another thing that I think is strange is that she didnīt tell me anything about how she felt about the situation- isnīt that odd as well? I mean, she could have mentioned she felt angry, hurt or whatever.
Yes, thatīs true, there are other fish in the sea but unfortunately the choice isnīt free when you donīt have the money to pay for therapy. I just feel all stuck.

When you said you wanted time to think about things, after you sent an email criticizing her - maybe she thought you meant you wanted to think about malpractice, and she didnt feel it was a good idea to continue with someone who thought so poorly of her and her abilities as a t. Because basically i agree with you - you should be able to tell a t you dont like this or that about them. But if you dont like a LOT of things about them, then maybe they just arent the right t for you, and you should try to find a better match. There are other fish in the sea. Its not like youre stuck with them like we were with our parents.
