My Support Forums - View Single Post - Have you ever cancel a session? Is cancellation common for a T?

In 2 1/2 years I've cancelled twice. I can't remember why the first time. The second time I was struggling with sleepiness from a med and literally could not stay awake. So I cancelled and went to sleep.

My T cancels not infrequently. She has some health issues and is almost 70 years old, so there's that. I'd say she cancels 1 out of every 10 sessions.

My therapy is at no cost, so the financial problem isn't there.

I think the "pay whether you come or not" is BS. I know almost every professional does that now, though.

It's like yesterday...I had an appointment with a stylist to get my hair cut. If I cancel less than 24 hours ahead the salon charges a fee. But my stylist cancelled on me 3 hours prior to my appt. Where the fairness in that?
Apparently, my time is not as important as hers is.
