At the least it sounds like poor time management. I'm a stickler for being on time, having had a T that doubled booked me or no-showed many times, then decided to "wrap things up" with me while I was still experiencing panic attacks several times a week.
Sometimes it's a case of us not being heard. Sometimes it's a case of the therapist not being able to manage their calenders, or their alarm clocks. Like I say - it's a big deal for me, comes down to my time being as precious as theirs.
I have a really good therapist now who gives me as much time as I need. I think it's a matter of matching needs and expectations. If your needs aren't being met repeatedly, then it's a problem - and your right as a client - to ask for better service, or find it elsewhere.
My 2 cents, whatever they are worth today :-)
