Your email sounds good. Out of curiosity, did they give any explanation for why your T had to cancel? Like illness, family emergency, etc.? I really struggled when my former marriage counselor had to cancel frequently, often at the last minute, which I eventually learned was due to his wife's (eventually terminal) illness. It got to a point where I never felt secure that the session would be happening until we were sitting in the waiting room. Even then, one session, we went back, and he said he could only give us 20 minutes (he didn't charge us), because he had to leave to deal with something.


Even if it's for a completely valid reason, it can be jarring and lead to loss of trust in a therapist. I hope your T responds to your email and is understanding of your struggles with the cancellations.
