Wouldn't a person who felt the need for therapy be anxious or anticipating the next session? With her it seems....out of sight, out of mind.

Dd has a schedule conflict and I will have to cancel her next session, but this time I am not going to reschedule for her. I have not reminded her of this upcoming appointment and she is not even aware there is a conflict in her schedule. I just plan on waiting and observing how long before she brings up therapy.

Could you be straightforward with her and tell her there is a schedule conflict so she knows what is happening? What if your daughter is anticipating therapy this week, has some really important stuff to tell her T, is anxious for someplace to go to offload her pain and work on her problems, and then she learns mom couldn't be bothered to tell her there is no session? In fact, mom deliberately didn't tell her as some kind of test. She will figure this out. It could make her feel hurt and betrayed and reluctant to share with you in the future (even less likely to tell you what therapy means to her). I wish you could talk openly with your daughter.
