I choose to skip the session and I didnīt say why as I just fill out the date and my cancellation in a net-based info system. I really needed a break from my T and from disappointments. Sessions are like calling for someone who never will be there.
When I cancelled I just felt my T wonīt bother and as she is within public health care she always has new patients on the list. I just felt that she hasnīt got enough heart to be really bothered or to wonder why I didnīt show up.
I know my former T had a bigger heart for her clients and that her clients werenīt just one among many others.
Perhaps this is now the end of this therapy with this new T as she isnīt dependent on me for getting paid, sheīs paid through the health care system. At the moment I feel it was a good thing not showing up because if this T now more or less delete me from her client list, my cancellation will just prove to be the right thing to have done.

Loss is really tough to cope with. Unfortunately loss seems to just happen again and again in the lives of humans. When my first child was born, I cried because she had lost the only home she'd ever known (the womb). My wife thought I was insane. I've had a lot of loss in my life, and losing people (and animals) over the years seems to bring up former losses as well. I hope you can do something comforting for yourself today.
