I think this depends partly on the kind of therapy and partly on how the T looks upon resistance. I canīt see how cancelling one session could be judged as being resistant to continuing treatment, to me is just a way to show that something has to be talked through.
Itīs another thing if you regularly cancel sessions, but cancelling on or two sessions should just be a part of therapy. Thatīs also many therapists opinion but unfortunately not my T:s.
To say that she wasnīt sure she didnīt know how to continue the treatment should have been a matter of discussion and at least the base for letting me know why the treatment so suddenly became impossible to continue.

When you cancel sessions and start playing cat and mouse games and things like that you are exhibiting resistance to treatment. That alone is enough to terminate. Why should she waste her time or yours. It sounds like whatever you said in your email backed her into a corner and she told you straight up she didn't know where to go from there. That's as honest an answer you're going to get. That's the reason.
