Last session I had what was discussed was upsetting & there was never an official see you next week said. Next week's session was canceled d/t a doctor appt. I then didn't get an appointment reminder, so I went online to the client portal to double check and there wasn't one listed. There was also a mini blizzard coming and many businesses were shortening there hours early, so I didn't think much of it...
When clicking through I accidentally scheduled an appointment for the upcoming week after the storm. A few days ago while I was at work I had a missed call from T, no voicemail. After I get off work I notice she sent me an email, almost immediately after the call. The email was simply, I noticed you tried to schedule an appointment, here are some referrals, let me know if you need anything & good luck.

I tried calling, left a voicemail, and then responded to the email. When I emailed I told her I left a voicemail, was confused, am guessing it means T doesn't want to see me anymore. I wrote in the email I wish this could have been discussed in a session or by phone before receiving it & wish to discuss it further by phone. I just feel somethings are best discussed verbally to get the full intention.

T responded to my email late tonight instead of just waiting to call tomorrow. This annoys me because I specifically wrote I left a voicemail at the beginning of the email and the last line was I would prefer to discuss in person or a call. T wrote she tried to reach out prior to sending the "referral" email. There was 1 call immediately prior and no voicemail or email.

I don't consider 1 call, no voicemail and literally 15 min later an email with referrals "a few attempts". I'm also upset the "referral" (termination) email was not clear. It never said I'm terminating due to xyz; just simply I noticed you tried to schedule an appt, here's referrals, let me know if I can help.

I reread the paperwork it says termination for 3 late cancelation/missed appt, failure to schedule for 3 weeks without prior arrangements. There was probably an "at T discretion, but it clearly states efforts will be made for a session prior to termination. I'm not sure why I'm so upset since I never felt particularly connected and was thinking about quitting anyway.
