runy --- without the knowledge of their long term relationship, I wish you weren't so critical of her predicament. Therapists are people, they are human and have human failings and things happen ... with them, to them and with their lives.
I know you wish/want a perfect therapist for yourself and for him/her to say the perfect thing at every turn. But I do not think that is possible. I consider myself a professional at my job and I make mistakes. I apologize, I learn from them, and I try not to make the same mistake twice.
So when mmealtalk's therapist's spouse died, she shouldn't take time for herself to heal her broken heart? If her tooth erupts and she is in pain, isn't she permitted to have emergency appointment? Mmealtalk is disappointed from all the interruptions to her therapy. As I would be. She understands the reasons, but the hurt remains.
Mealtalk - I agree 100% with Dinah. Your t was talking from a place of pain - of post dental procedure. Those are no fun at all. I'm sure she will be more herself at your next appointment. Hang in there until you see her again.
