We go out and turns out the receptionist gave it to someone else because it's an "emergency". How in he!! can it be an emergency a week from now? Quickly pissed, and hurt. Left.
Get a text on the way home - "emergency" wrong word, client been trying to get in for a month and is "affecting work and school". ****, I struggle to get out the door every day to get to work. Which, of course, T knows. This isn't the first time I've lost my appointment to someone else. It truly an emergency, then I would understand. Might not like it, but would understand. This, not so much.
Texted back, said was angry and hurt. And didn't care about the other client. Then, told her I thought she was gonna be glad to be rid of me (I'm planning on retiring, with no health insurance).
Her text - didn't really deny the latter. Then, said the appointment thing was "my fault" (my, as in her, fault).
Is admitting fault the same as saying :"sorry"? Should I expect a "sorry"?
10 hours later I'm still upset and thinking of telling them to "give 'em (appointments) ALL away".
Really hurtin'
Sorry so disjointed - rushed

I'm sorry. This would really upset me too. I do think "it's my fault" is not the same as "I'm sorry." And in this case, you deserve an apology. I've found that, at least for the ones I've seen, T's seem very reluctant to give true apologies. Which is frustrating, because sometimes a heartfelt "I'm sorry" can go a long way in repairing a conflict or rupture (it certainly would have helped with a recent rupture with marriage counselor...he did eventually say it, but took a few weeks). Maybe try going to your next session, tell her how much this upset you, and see what she says, then decide about terminating?
