Well because you schedule at the end of the session and then the **** hits the fan and things get moved. It depends on the individual T's style. I had one T who would work with me to pick a day/time for our session and that's how it stayed. No need for scheduling at all--all the sessions were scheduled for the same day/time for months in advance unless stated otherwise. And I had another T who had a different style and sometimes I didn't know until hours before the session if I was going. In return for my flexibility she was flexible with me if I ever needed it.

In any case, the T did get back to me that evening so we're set. Thanks for all the support. I think that generally I don't need immediate attention so I can deal with her style, especially since it sounds like this is normal. I also hope that maybe she was prioritizing her existing clients. After all this agonizing I hope she's a good fit (*fingers crossed*).
