My therapist has said before that he thinks with anxiety we need more information, and that helps the anxiety. I have issues with anxiety all across the board, and knowing that I can rely on a weekly session with my therapist helps my anxiety to be less overall. When he cancels a session or I have to postpone it for a few days, I fall apart. I spend the interim constantly trying to stay calm. That's why I'm wondering if the people who don't mind the unpredictability don't have anxiety.

I do suffer from anxiety but I don't have a problem with needing different times. Maybe because it was me who initially said I needed this because of work commitments. If my T was always changing when I wanted same time then it would probably cause me issues.
