I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what's the normal amount that therapists cancel less than 24 hours in advance, sometimes less than 30 minutes before sessions?
My previous therapist (and a big reason why I terminated) would cancel constantly for "emergencies" last minute every few sessions. All sessions were online, but it was frustrating that I would get ready for the session (physically and mentally) only for it to get canceled a few minutes before. I've never had this problem previously with other therapists before this, so I assumed it wasn't normal.
This being said, my current therapist has also started falling into this pattern. I don't think it's personal at all, but regardless still giving deja-vu thinking that this could be a start to this pattern of constant cancellations.
All this to say, how often is too often for therapists to cancel, and when do you draw the line? Therapists are human too, which is why I'm having a hard time trying to understand what's normal and what's not. Any insight would be appreciated!
