I have only been late to one session with L and it's because I fell out of bed and hit my head that morning and I had to take time to make sure I was okay. The only times I've had to cancel is when I had surgery or dental procedures.

For me, my time with my Ts are short, precious, and valuable. I don't like wasting my time or theirs. I would be too afraid to test them anyways. One time too many and they might leave. (Though if they're honest with me, they wouldn't.) I also can't afford to miss sessions.

Now I have "threatened" to no show. That is usually testing. T is great about it. She knows how much she means to me, so when I say that I might not show up, her response is "See you next session"...lol. L takes it a little more seriously. She tells me to come in, talk about it, everything will be alright. She's very reassuring and encouraging.
