Now why the **** would I do that if I was just going to be angry about it, later? Why would you be angry? You did right, you helped someone else, maybe on reflection you might have said, 'go deal with this person, I will call you and reschedule,' but you did not, so it goes, hindsight is easy. Maybe next time.
Why the **** would T agree? Perhaps they felt the other person's need was urgent, perhaps they too on reflection might have said they were sorry and it would be better to reschedule. But they didn't. No one is perfect.

I can't speak for OP specifically, but for a lot of people this kind of situation reinforces a negative self-perception and can also touch on abandonment and other issues. I don't think it's as simple as one action is right and the other is wrong. Especially in the unique space of therapy, where the hour is usually completely about the client. That's one of the most healing things for many people in therapy, so to have that disrupted can be hurtful.
