You had a need and an expectation from your t which she couldn't meet and that hurts but try not to hurt yourself more by taking it personally. Ps. I would be really hurting too over this and wonder could you ask her the exact reason the next day, she might not give the answer but it could be nice to know!

Thanks Mona! I have my schedule stuff all worked out but despite that it still hurt that she wouldn't or couldn't accommodate me. The good part is that my therapist never judges my feelings and accepts them. I emailed her last night feeling a little guilty for expecting her to rearrange her schedule for me.. She replied that "guilt is painful and harmful for the soul" that I should accept what I'm feeling and just smile, that it will pass. She really is a pretty amazing person. When she broke it down the way she did I had an ah
Ha moment😊😊. This is all good stuff and I'm grateful for her. At the same time I know that it's okay to be upset and disappointed. She validates my feelings.. I'm pretty blessed😊 Have a great day and I hope that one day you'll take a trip across the pond😊😊
