In reply to My therapist fired me-long but PLEASE HELP!, posted by Kim on July 6, 2009, at 1:44:02
I think you ought to talk to him in person. You don't really know how your husband phrased your cancellation. A therapist has to accept a client leaving, if they believe that is what's going on. My therapist did it himself just a few sessions ago when he totally misunderstood what I was saying to him.
He immediately gave you your time back. He immediately expressed a desire to continue working with you. He had held your space open. He didn't fire you.
I don't know if the appointment you canceled after they scheduled you is still open, but if I were you I'd call and find out. You haven't actually seen your therapist or talked to him since this happened. You don't know how much this is a misunderstanding. Your account of what he's done since you called to reschedule and before your husband canceled do not sound like someone who is trying to fire you.
