Exactly what Falls said.. If you can't switch that time, ask about switching the other person.
And sometimes they just aren't good at realizing that we see switching appointments as a negative thing. Mine's ALWAYS late for our 8 am appointment. And I used to think, "Oh, I've done something wrong, he dreads seeing me, etc.." Then, it became a habit and I realized, "Oh, he's just slow in the mornings!"
Try not to take it to heart. Ask if the other person can switch. If not, try to find a time you can make it this week. And let him know it upsets you to be switched around. If you let him know, then he may be less apt to switch you if this happens in the future. Also, they aren't always good about "checking up" either. Mine never does, so I take that as an open invitation to allow me to call him whenever and if ever I need to. And I don't hesitate anymore. And he doesn't mind either... Wow guys, I sound healthier by the second... (*Patting myself on the back*).. Maybe you can feel that way too... If you need to talk, cal your therapist. Usually they don't mind, if it doesn't become bothersome to them.. And I don't see that being a problem with you hun..
Take care of yourself, those flashbacks are nasty....kk
