Yeah I see your point for sure. But in this instance I agree with his decision to tell. Without understanding how very extreme a situation the therapist is in, the client might feel jerked around by frequent sudden cancellations. I think knowing that these are circumstances that are truly beyond his control and that he really can't delegate his responsibility to anyone else would calm my concern that my T was flakey or didn't prioritize my appointments.
