Late to this discussion—I see a psychoanalyst. He does not charge me for missed sessions that are planned in advance. We've never discussed rules around breaks or vacations so I don't think there's anything set in stone.

Also: psychoanalysis usually involves 3-5 sessions per week, so this guy is not really doing psychoanalysis with you.

In any case, whatever is or is not normal, I think the question is whether this therapist is helpful for you and whether you are getting what you need from the relationship. Only you can answer that. If the answer is no, it might be time to look for something new.
