Thankfully T has the tact not to come right out and say he is putting someone in my slot... it was more of an “I’m running out of openings for July and need to know what I have available”.
If we needed face to face time yes, he could use the platform he is using for phone sessions. Apparently he only opened up in office appointments to some clients.
Historically though we have also always done well working things out in email. I tend to do best being able to “hear” something, take time to think on it and then respond in my own time. We have actually had more problems face to face... but we shall see. So far nothing from him and nothing on my usual google dive options that might offer insight into possible reasons from home.
