today was supposed to be my first day of therapy and the therapist didn’t show up. I’m pissed off. I wasted 2 hours for nothing.

I’ve sent her a polite message, asking if she’s sick and hoping she is well, but in reality I wanted to yell at her. However, if I yell at her, chances are she won’t treat me.

Before you suggest to find another therapist, finding a shrink where I live is very difficult and the other ones I contacted have either ignored me or are overbooked. I need therapy and it bothers me to be so dependent on one person.

For those of you who have experienced something similar, how doesn’t it bother you?

    This is therapy. Ffs read the context.

    Talk about being completely unaware…

      You dont yell at your therapist either. Anger management seems like a good first target if you cant stop yourself from yelling at people.

      No therapist should put up with being yelled at.

      The context of the comment I asked the question to was a situation flip where they stated they’d be more comfortable if the therapist raised their voice in response to them being late…

      So, yes. I wouldn’t expect a therapist to have anger issues like that.
