Sounds like you are reasoning it out and know he wasn't abandoning you, and he did apologize. That's great. Did you express how badly you needed to talk to him? It is hard to deal with though
. It's like a broken record, the people we depend on keep letting us down. That's why set boundaries with my T. I don't want them to have that power, or me be so dependent on them, that if the sessions end or are cancelled that it will not be such a big deal. I've seen people really go off the deep end when their Therapist goes on vacation, or has to cancel a session. I don't want to be like that. Therapist have a life too outside of being a therapist.
