My T makes it quite clear to me that Icontrol the frequency of my appointments, not her. Did you not confirm the date and time of your next appointment before you went on vacation? If you did; why were you expecting her to call you last week? If you didn't, then wasn't it up to you to call her and arrange a session on your return from vacation?

I would be inclined to call or e-mail her and confirm the date and time of your next session rather than expect her to contact you. They are yoursessions afer all not hers!

Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but as the client, don't we have to assume at least some responsibility for arranging our sessions?

Avoidant - Yes my appointments are every other week always. The only thing that changes is the time. She always sends me a time the day before.

Hi Smiley,

In that case I think you would be entitled to ask her why she didn't give you a time for last week, and to confirm with her the date for next weeks session. It sounds like she forgot last week, doesn't it?

smiley i'd call or email to ask what happened. i think you will receive the same (hopefully apologetic/understanding) response whether you contact t or she contacts you but you may set yourself up for more hurt waiting for her to contact you if she doesn't realize her mistake for an even longer period of time

When in doubt, nag your T, I say. Serves them right for all they put us through.

Seriously, I think it would be very reasonable to email under these circumstances and that is what I would do.

So sorry you fell through the cracks on your T's schedule. I know how that hurts.

Thanks for the responses. Yes it does hurt a little, more like a sting. I'm going to e-mail her and see what happened. Thanks again.

Hi Smiley! I hope that your T was able to let you know what happened- how did it go?

Hello Smiley, like Beebs, I’m interested to know how it went, did you email her again and did she explain to your satisfaction what had happened? I would hope that there was some clear and simple reason for her not sending you the time of your appointment.

Hope all is well with you, good to see you around here again ((((((((( Smiley )))))))))
