And I suppose the question is misleading. It’s not the amount of times (she’s done this twice in 4 1/2 years) that bothers me so much as she only realized 10 minutes in she was supposed to be somewhere else when her email went off, and I was already talking, and she just interrupted, said she had to go, and rushed off.

Yes, there was an apology and an offer to meet later in there, but she just clearly had no time to do anything other than dump me as fast as possible.
If my T is sitting with me in a session for 10 minutes, then I expect that this is what he decided to do, no matter whether he forgot to be somewhere else. His phone rings almost every session, all he ever does is mute it, he never interrupts for it, if somebody knocks on the door (just happened once, another therapist in the same office), he acknowledges it but brushes them off...

I'd not even let actually checking the message slide unless if it hadn't been discussed prior to the session, right as I walk in. Let alone somebody then leaving or stopping the session. The only reason I could see would be an emergency call from family, but I'd expect that to be explained right away. One time my T had to cancel a session, his wife had to go to the hospital, he told me that straight up and that's okay, even though it sucks.
