Well, if it's a paid for relationship, you should expect your money's worth. It wouldn't appear that he gave it in this instance.
If I were you, I'd definitely complain about the level of service provided.
I'm being slightly facetious here, not to try to make light of your hurt, which I feel is justified, but rather to try to help you see that whatever the monetary basis of the relationship is, you can decide what you wish to expect from it and let the other person know when they've disappointed you.
If you state it as an "When you didn't return my call, I felt..." format, it can be very nonconfrontational. Or if you're therapist is one who encourages anger within the relationship, you don't need to be so circumspect.
When you've heard him out, you can decide what to do. But it's got to beat suffering in silence, right?
