I see my therapist two times a week. This Monday, I cancelled due to bad weather (snow storm). When I saw him later in the week and mentioned my absense ("sorry I wasn't here Monday, I hope it wasn't a problem"), he replied that his secretary fills in appointments with other people and he isn't really aware of cancellations. Later, I thought how odd it was that he didn't realize I was missing as I come every Monday. I took this to mean that I am really not important to him, etc. Don't you think most therapists would expect a long-term client on the day for which she has been scheduled for a long time? Doesn't he have any idea who is coming to see him before he steps into the waiting room? Doesn't he need to prepare, at all, for the client? I basically feel unimportant to him and, of course, that feels really bad. Widget
