Another Cancellation

Ok, so I was supposed to see my therapist tomorrow. Some of you know that I have been trying to see her since november, and that the one I was supposed to have early this month got cancelled. Well, the one that I was supposed to have tomorrow, got cancelled because she got called to court. Again, knowing that I would see her has been keeping me alive, and now I can't see her until next wed. Somehow I think that this on will be cancelled too. I don't know what to do. I am so frustrated, because it's like when I really need to see her, she can't fit me in. And my mom and I have told her office that I really needed to see her, but still, they haven't got me in any sooner. I am not sure that I can make it to next week. I've had to fight so hard just to make it this far....

Dreamer,

That is so disappointing. I understand you you feel. Find a way to let her know how much you really need to see her - maybe the office staff doesn't get it, so make sure you get through to her. And hang in there. We're here to help you get though however long it takes.

Dreamer,

I'm sorry you can't get in. Are there other Ts in the office that you could see instead?

I would definitely make my concerns to the office staff a little louder. Maybe they don't understand how important this is for you - enlighten them as to the urgency of your situation.

Please hang in there. We're all still here for you.

yes dreamer, please have you or your mom call the office again and stress that this is urgent. make sure they know it is urgent and that you have been cancelled twice already. if you can make it until next wednesday then call to let the t know it is urgent that she doesn't cancel again or refer you to someone covering for her if she is unable to keep the next appt for any reason.

good luck

Dreamer,

Good advice from everyone. I'd suggest calling back the office and letting them know that you've been doing the best you can to hang in until your appts, and then they've been cancelled. Let them know this is extremely distressing to you. Ask if the doctor can fit you in after the court appearance, that normally you wouldn't ask, but that you feel like you're in a critical place. Also ask if she has a colleague you could see sooner. It's very important that you stress to them that these repeated cancellations aren't acceptable. Do you have the option of trying to find another T in your area? You can always make another appt with someone else, and whoever comes thru first, you keep as your doctor and cancel the other.

In the mean time Dreamer, keep coming here and talking. I know we'll do everything we can to help. We're on your side.
