Thanks. Yes, it can be many reasons for a therapist to call, I read that in the US therapists often call mostly because of finacial or insurance matters even if some also call just out of care of course.

Yes, Iīm planning to say that I nearly cancelled our upcoming session because I feel hurt by, as it seems, she wonīt call or try to reach me if I suddenly didnīt show.

Iīm attached but at the same time very wary of what her actions actually mean and how much is just technique and whatīs genuine caring and interest.

I do it just about every day at work as there is most always a key person missing from a meeting and you want to know if they are still coming so you can improvise or plan differently.

Your T never actually said she wouldn't-why don't you straight out ask her? Feeling alone or not cared about can provoke very painful memories if you've distanced yourself from them. It's sounds like you're becoming really attached to her (just my guess).
