But in the meantime, I would still try some of the other Ts. This way you won't be completely alone. If they are crap (substitute Ts) you can dump them but if they can, even if only in a minor way help, I'd say that's worth a try. What do you think?

Thank you, Rive.
I guess something that factors in is that I have nothing to talk to another therapist about except how upset I feel about M.'s continuing absence. In part, I feel that if I talk with another T it would be specifically to spite M. To let her know that she's disposable, that I really don't need her.
If I keep my August appointments I'll be doing the same thing I did in July, which is calling or being called every 3rd or 4th day with the "is she coming back yet" topic. Yes - whoops! No...maybe...could be!...ummm, not this week...
It's causing me so much stress that I'm dreaming about the uncertainty, it actually causes me to wake up because I'm anxious in my sleep.
I'm sorry; I don't mean to discount your advice. I appreciate all of the feedback I've received on this thread. I'm just thinking that the road of least stress is to cancel August, set up for September, and leave August for seeing my pdoc only. My pdoc is also a therapist, so although my time with her is fairly short, I will receive support and suggestions from her.
