I KNOW had that situation never happened, our rupture wouldn't have either. So that changed my life, not for the better, either. My T knew I was having a hard time, I needed some consistency, predictability, stability.... and she said something about this being a lesson in life. That life in general does not have these things, so her canceling sessions was good practice to learn to accept that. Um, ok. Well, I accepted it, but I do not accept that our entire therapeutic relationship changed because of it. I wish I could "re-do" February.

ETA: I DO agree with her on her theory about life not being predictable, etc. But I think life is where I can learn that, not during my intense therapy sessions, when it's convenient for her. I thought the same as someone mentioned above. If she didn't work for herself, she most likely wouldn't have been able to do this as often as she did. But, that was a very rough time for her...I know that. Although I probably shouldn't, eh?
I agree that life is unpredictable and unstable. I don't really like the way your T excused her cancelling with this. I think that therapy is supposed to give us consistancy and stability that we may have been denied in our childhood.
