8 minutes before our session, cancelled!
So, I was reading this post, https://www.reddit.com/r/TalkTherapy/comments/1bt2gtw/therapist_cancelled_our_session_last_minute/
... but it's super old and I wanted to push further on it.
I was scheduled for my FIRST EVER therapy session and the "dr." cancelled 8 minutes before ... I got an email saying "I'm sorry [APierLate] I'm sick today could you reschedule for a different day" ... and that's it.
I immediately changed therapists.
Am I wrong, or a huge gaping asshole, for bailing before our first session? I feel pissy cause... fucking 8 minutes. Like, you JUST found out you were sick?
I'm nervous about therapy... I dunno if the shit works...
BUT naaaaah, I'm trying, I'm fully going into all of it with a COMPLETELY open mind. I'm doing the homework, the CBT shit, the yoga, I'm NOT WRITING ANY OF IT OFF, despite that part of my brain saying it's a waste of time/money.
I wanna get better and I feel totally... just shit on. Am I wrong for thinking a grown ass man should know he's sick 8 minutes before a session? Is that last-minute cancellation stuff typical for therapy?
I dunno... I'm honestly trying to come at this... honestly. I'm trying to let myself actually soak up some important...
I guess I wanna be part of a community of people who are ALSO trying and I'm just... fuck... mad. Maybe I'm in the wrong place, but some advice... or SOMETHING might help. Thanks guys and good luck with yours.
