My therapist is on vacation for a week. She will be back over the weekend, and will be having therapy next week. And she will be leaving again for vacation the following week. When she informed me of her vacation plans, she didn't inform me that our sessions needed to be rescheduled the week when she comes back. We meet twice a week. Was it stupid of me to think that the clinic would be open on 4th of July? Had I not texted to confirm, I would have showed up for our appointment next Tuesday. When I texted her about 4th of July, she also said that she had to reschedule our second appointment of the week because her flight leaves that evening, so she would have to meet at an earlier time.

I don't feel abandoned because she's going away on vacation. It does bother me that she is leaving, coming back, and then leaving again. It's quite disruptive. But I expected and would have appreciated it if she had informed me earlier that our regular session times would have to be rescheduled the week when she is back from vacation.

Is it reasonable for me to expect that it's the professional way to handle it? Was she actually going to text me on Monday after returning from her vacation that we won't have therapy on 4th of July, and that our second session of the week would have to be rescheduled? She could have conveniently let me know earlier when she informed me about her vacation plans. This seems very sloppy and unprofessional. And is she not aware of how it's important to maintain therapy structure and consistency, and that any changes should be brought up to clients sensitively?

As some of you already know from my earlier thread (I had to delete it), she only just realized after so many months that I had been unknowingly been underpaying her. I hand her cash directly from my hand to her hand every week, and she's only realizing it now.

I have been with this therapist for a year and a half now. She has always been reliable. I let her in. Where is all this sloppiness coming from? Am I being ana| retentive about wishing that as a professional, she should have informed me earlier of the schedule changes during the week when she is back? Am I stupid for thinking that there is therapy 4th of July? Is it obvious that there is not therapy 4th of July therefore she didn't feel a need to inform me until I asked?
