Believe me, I can be selfish. I pitched a major fit about my therapist going away for a few days vacation and cancelling my appointment. I'm glad he can relax and spend time with his family. Really I am. I know it was unreasonable of me. He told me I could call him, and even offered to set up a schedule for phone calls while he was away. And still I acted like a brat.
Ah well, even if his only purpose was to be the recipient of that nonsense, so that my family can be spared, he's serving a pretty useful function.
