I have only once cancelled an appointment with a previous T out of anger, then thought about it afterwards. I regretted it and should have talked the anger out.

As if T knew why I cancelled, did she remember I was so angry at the end of my session last time? Maybe she did or maybe she didn't. What I really wanted was for her to call and ask what was wrong....was something bothering me, was I sick, but then realized she had a full load of clients. Also was she going to chase me down and wonder why I cancelled because she was worried or perhaps think something came up. By not rescheduling at the same time as canceling, I thought that would be a clue, but it wasn't. I was disappointed and wanted to ask at my next session when I finally decided to make another appointment why she never called, but I didn't.

I do cancel from time to time. I don't regret it, it usually helps me to go back with more clarity.
I think it can be useful to find out how one feels after canceling as just having general knowledge is a good thing I would think.

I have never cancelled an appt. but I'm often feeling very close to doing so...I would like to cancel this week but part of me is attached to my T and I do want to see him....I'm conflicted. I also know I would prob regret it if I did. I would be canceling out of frustration and maybe some anger. I just don't know where my therapy is going right now /:

Not quite the same thing but I turned down going to see a new Therapist at the practice I currently was at which they were going to set up an appointment with and decided to leave the practice all together, I will have to wait and see if I made the right decision or not.

Are you hoping she'll come running after you if you don't book?

I've cancelled and regretted it. i've cancelled and not regretted it.

My T seems to know when to poke me if I haven't been in a few weeks.

I never cancel.

Only a couple of times and I did regret it because I was testing her hoping she would beg me to come in and when she didn't I was really hurt. With new t I wouldn't do that. Plus I know he wouldn't fall for it.

Yes yes and yes!
I have cancelled and regretted it a lot of times.

I've never cancelled because I didn't want to go. I go to all of my appointments if I possibly can get there. I have cancelled because of illness or emergencies, and yes, I regretted missing my appointment even though it wasn't avoidable. Usually those times I had to cancel kind of at the last minute which is hard when you get your mind set on going, but you have to do what you have to do.

I cancelled last week for a family emergency and while I didn't regret it exactly (I really felt I had no choice) I definitely was sorry that I couldn't go especially because it was last minute and I had been looking forward to it for days.

I haven't cancelled maybe delayed but not cancel.

omg i am going through this tonight!! posted about it already a few mins ago. i feel like such an idiot for asking for the appt, then cancelling, then saying ignore my cancelling it, and she hasn't called me back so i don't know where I stand. gah.
