I asked her then if I could see her on Tuesday because I want to have the same day and time. She said other clients had those slots so I now I have to fit in between them. I said that was fine. There were no “guesses”. I was clear on my what I wanted. We then booked in a few appointments in advance and I assumed that would be my schedule moving forward. Turns out that is not the case and T only booked two weeks ahead then gave my appointment time to someone else.

I don’t know what kind of therapy you do but in psychoanalysis this is not how it is done nor has it been my experience in the past.
I'm not interested in arguing with you. If you're sure that your communication is without flaws and crystal clear, move forward in whatever way is best for you. I think assuming, as you have stated above, is a flaw in communication. I assumed you were interested in hearing what others have to say, even if they disagree with you. I have no interest in changing what you do or how you see things. I told you what I think. "Not how it's done" is rarely a statement that makes much sense to me, as I think there are many kinds doing things that are pretty much okay. But if you have a specific idea of how you want to do your therapy, then finding someone who's a better match might be a good idea.
