Hello Doo,

What do you mean by "verify"? What should I do? Talk to him or do research in some psychological textbook on whether or not this is normal therapist behavior?

I feel very distracted by all this. And I feel disappointed in myself that I am distracted by all this. I thought I was stronger, but I guess there is a great deal of force and intensity in the therapy process. Hmm...

Thanks for replying. I will definitely bring this up in our next session, I hope that I will not chicken out. I wish he would call me since he is supposed to be bigger and more stable than I am. Actually, I don't doubt his therapy techniques or its positive affects on me. But I am disappointed that his life is so busy that this unfortunate conflict has arisen. I think that logically I am perfectly understanding toward the situation. Emotionally, I do feel hurt and like I said, distracted by all this. Which makes me mad at myself because this is really such a small thing, you know. How am I supposed to grow and be a better person if I am boggled down by a scheduling conflict. But then on the other hand, we are talking about my therapist here. And if nothing else, this whole series of scheduling conflicts does take away some of the magically influence that any good therapist tend to have. But, we don't live in an ideal world, so I do need to work on being more forgiving. I think that I forgive him in terms of the business end of things two days ago when we successfully rescheduled. Emotionally, I am really tormented by all this. Probably because I realize that my therapist is human afterall :-( I know that I tend to put therapist of all degrees very high up on a pedestal. But that is the only way I can feel safe enough to disclose myself. Hmm...I guess what bothers me the most is that I am still not as "well" in my state of mind as I thought. On the other hand, we are talking about a therapy process that got disrupted by the therapist himself. I don't know what to think anymore. All I know is that I feel very bad about all this.
