My T does stuff like this all the time. I don’t view it as being special- more that she knows me well enough at this point to err on the side of caution. I am the type of person that struggles with change, so I like to know holiday times, etc. as soon as possible so I can prepare mentally for it. Whereas for some clients, it doesn’t bother them to miss the odd appt, or they don’t want or need lots of lead up time to it.

If you don’t like something she’s said or how it’s made you feel, I would just talk to her about it. Sometimes they get it wrong, and it’s okay to point that out.

I agree with what others have said that Ts shouldn’t treat everyone exactly the same. It’s not about being special, just about understanding diverse needs.
