> Ok, well my therapist is gone for 2.5 weeks and he was supposed to do something for me before he left. In fact, he offered to do it, I did not even ask.

> Well, he did NOT do it. I waited for 4 days and now he is gone.

> I am really sad. My entire last 4 sessions were about being abandoned and forgotten and there he goes forgetting me.

> He has forgotten other important things or ignored other things. For example, I have only made ONE emergency phone call and he never called me back. The police later came instead.

> I feel so let down and honestly I have no desire to see him anymore. This was a big mistake and I have just had it with being hurt.

> I sort of feel like starting over in the new year.
> I have only been with him about 5.5 months.

> My old therapist would never have forgotten or ignored important things. Never.

> Any thoughts?
>I can understand changing therapists over these timeS (plural) of letting you down. The fact that you had just spent weeks of sessions talking about being abandoned and forgotten just adds insult to injury. If you are very brave you might bring this up to him and see if you can still work with him, but I don't know that I could be that bold.
