Hi guys--I don't post much anymore, but i do read the boards every day.

I just started seeing a new T a few weeks ago. She cancelled the 3rd appointment because she forgot to tell me she was co-facilitating a group that weekend (i do saturday appointments). I was disappointed because I had a tough week at work, but went the week after, which was last saturday.

It was a tough session (as this is only my 3rd session with her), got into some deep stuff and brought up some old fears of mine, which i journaled out and was ready to bring up on saturday. When we left last saturday, i reminded her that this saturday was the 4th. She paused to think about it and said it should be fine, as no one does fireworks during the middle of the day (she has two young kids).

I just received an email from her saying she has decided she was going to take Saturday off, and we will meet the week after. My heart plummeted because this week has been VERY hard for me, and was looking forward to talking to someone about it.

Besides the two cancellations in 5 weeks, she seems to keep a loose time boundary (at least from what i've experienced with my past two therapists). She usually runs about 10-15 min late, ushers out the previous client, and ushers me in right after, which makes me feel a little bad about.Like shouldn't she be taking time for herself? She also keeps me a full hour, which i GREATLY appreciate.

All that being said, this is the first therapist that i feel connected to, or feel like i will be connected to as time goes on. But if these are major red flags of trouble ahead, maybe i should bow out now? I don't want to do that, and its really hard to find a therapist who can do weekend/nights.
