Oh, I would have had to keep driving, to get there even after she'd gone, etc. I use to be desperate to get to T until the time I called her from the car and told her I would be late. From then on the bond was okay and I wasn't desperate anymore, I could "talk" to her.

But we often have to pay for sessions we miss here in the U.S., doesn't matter the reason? I never missed any so it didn't come up until I was sick in 2003. Then she brought it up when I called the day of appointments but I think she felt sheepish when I ended up in hospital and having true emergencies and not being able to call beforehand. I only paid for one session which I instigated paying for and she tried to say was "okay" that I didn't have to pay. I paid her anyway :-) I'm a master of keeping to rules, thanks to my stepmother.
