The odd thing is that I can think of 2 times when my T saw me on a different day than scheduled due to a scheduling conflict on my part and both times he mentioned that he was able to fit me in because he just had a cancellation. That means he gave me someone else’s spot and presumably we were both paying for that spot, me because I was seeing T during that time slot, and other client because they had clearly not cancelled within 14 days. So, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I should probably just have this conversation with my T, but as I said, it feels sort of confrontational.
