I don't know, considering large parts of the city have been without power, internet and transport I'd expect T to a) reach out to make sure I was able to come in and b) not charge me a cancellation fee if I was unable to attend. I don't care what I signed, it seems extremely unreasonable to charge someone $200 regardless of reason. What if their home was destroyed and they were unable to get in touch more than 24 hours before the session? Does that seem fair? Not to mention this cancellation fee deters people from staying home when they're ill and given that we are still in a pandemic, some flexibility should be allowed here.

This is not the only time I've been at T's every whim. Originally my session was after work as that is what suits me best and T said she could accomodate that. Several months in and T says that time doesn't work for her because she's too tired by the evening. Despite the fact that I have a work meeting every morning that conflicts with the new session time she's offering, I have to disrupt my work schedule to accomodate her needs.

Next thing was when T went on maternity leave and said she would be back after 6 months for in person sessions. She contacts me towards the end of the 6 months saying she's going to do telehealth for a couple of months to ease back in. I asked if we could move the session 30 mins earlier (which would have been my usual session time) and she said she couldn't, explanation given. Once those few months were up, T decides she's not ready to go back to the office so online sessions it is for the rest of the year.

Then at the beginning of this year when she said she was thinking about returning to the office, she said she wasn't 100% sure and would confirm with me before next session. It gets to the day before the session and I still haven't heard from her. I send an email asking and she responds saying she's unwell and we will have to do in person the following week.

This is a pattern of behaviour and whenever I bring it up she "validates" my feelings but shows no interest in changing her behaviour at all. I'm just expected to sit back and accept this "as part of the relationship". I have no control over anything that happens, it's all up to T.
