Today I was supposed to have a session with my T as usual on Mondays but it was cancelled because she was sick.

That´s nothing strange about that but I though feel it´s a bit hard to process the disappointment and the slight feeling of abandonment. I know the abandonment feelings have their roots in my childhood and I´m not angry with my T nor do I suspect she´s making it up her being sick.

But it´s though a bit hard to have to wait for next week and it also worries me that she´s a big part of what makes me go forward and keeps me having some kind of hope even if I still feel bad quite often. It makes me feel the dependency on her and also makes me see I still have those issues from before.

Anyone who relates to this?

It's always unsettling when these things get cancelled at the last minute. Hope the rest of your day goes well.

I don't like things getting cancelled. But that's the reality. Hope you can have productive day regardless

I would hate it if T1 cancelled. He has only cancelled once in 9 years, thank God. I don't think feeling bad about it is unusual. And I definitely understand about needing it to get through the week. I hope it passes quickly.

I completely relate to this. My marriage counselor has had to cancel some sessions at the last minute for a family emergency (I realize now it was probably related to his wife's illness). And it's like I understand that his family has to come first, but one or two of the times I *really* needed to talk. And he's taken a long time to reschedule sometimes, so it's like, if he cancels, it's not clear when we'll see him again. Now we have a regular slot, but cancellations always seemed to be when the next time was on a holiday, so we'd have to reschedule.

I relate! its so difficult when my t cant talk to me like we planned, for whatever reason.
