(I'm so bad at individual replies when I'm going to bed ...)
Thank you for replying. It helps me gain perspective when I read everyone's point of view.
I had friends over for dinner (the kind that don't know I go to therapy) so my brain was trying to be in the moment and enjoy the summer evening, and perplexed as to what I wanted to do tomorrow morning: go or not.
To clarify what LucieLu said, my T did offer a later time but that does not work for me.
After reading your posts, it sounds like I didn't reply soon enough to my t's offer. I guess I didn't know it had an expiration time attached to it. And you are probably right - in her mind - I let a day go by without confirming the appointment. I will point out to her that she let a day go by (after I sent my text confirming the appointment) telling me she already gave it to someone else.
I am still hurt. And I don't want to go. But I am going away on business next week so I'd rather straighten this out sooner rather than later ... although I'm sure tomorrow will not go well.
I was excited when our company left this evening so I could go on line and see if anyone posted a reply. It brought my spirits up and will help me rest easier tonight.
The therapeutic relationship is so hard.
