Imo, unless there is some sort of emergency there is no edxcuse whatsoever for a t to not show up without warning.

My previous t had been having some medical issues and was having to cancel a lot of appts of reschedule them. I was getting frustrated and already didn't really like her that much. Her style didn't mesh with me, like talking about herself and her accomplishments and the book she was writing when I got quiet instead of asking questions. One week, u get there, I'm sitting in the waiting room of the clinic, after about 20 minutes past my appt I just left. Even with it being a clinic, the time of my appt the lady at the desk was at lunch and there was no one to ask. Fo but out later that she had to cancel all appts that day for medical stuff and they had supposedly called her appts to tell them. I didn't get a call, or an apology for that matter. She had enough warning that they "called" her clients, but I fell thru the cracks and that is still unacceptable to me. I still go to that clinic, but not see the therapy supervisor, since my previous t decided to "retire" and only give me 1 weeks notice. She offered one session to close out before i started with my current one. I just said no thanks, I'm good, and moved on.

We go to therapy for various reasons, but a lot of people have issues with abandonment, feeling ignored or forgotten, insignificant, etc. Whether intentional or not, the t adding to those issues without a good reason is unacceptable.

Forgetting once, maybe, twice is beyond me. I wonder how many other clients she has done that to? If it's happened 3 times for you, I don't even want to know how many times it happens with anybody...
