I dont need to own my therapists stuff AND mine, i have enough of my own stuff to regret, grieve, or beat myself up about.

Then maybe its time... for a poll! Your t pulled the "nobody in 40 years has ever complained" card. Counter that with pc poll stats on the bolded part above. Or google research on vacation? Now youve got me curious.
I hear you saying that a big part of the bad feelings comes from being told AFTERWARDS. After the medical appointments. After the "break".
1. Would you have NOT done the medical appointments, had you known it would mean losing your t time?
2. How big a factor is your disappointment in the outcome of the medical appointments?
3. Did t discourage you from doing the medical appointments, and you feel now he is punishing you for going against his advice by taking away your time?
#3 above could be a transference situation. I could see MY parents acting like that, and then me acting OUT like that. So it FEELS like punishment or meanness, but RATIONALLY, who holds 4 weeks of unpaid prime time open? Cuz yeah he probably assumed you couldnt pay for an unused 2nd session per week. But thats financial, not mean, not personal.
I really am trying to make you feel better, not worse
im kind of an expert at finding reasons my family didnt really mean what they said or did. It can be used for good or evil.
