My therapist sees me at a discounted rate. As a result, I don’t book my appointments in the portal like the “regular” clients, but rather directly through him, either during my appointment or via email.

Yesterday I was supposed to have a virtual session with him, and he forgot. This is now the second time. I know he’s human and mistakes happen, but this is an awful feeling. Even my therapist forgets me. I’ve been seeing him for over 7.5  years so I don’t want to just “start seeing someone new” like my bf suggested/thinks I should do. It’s not that simple!

Has anyone else had this happen to them? How did you handle it? My instinct is to be passive aggressive and cancel our next schedule right before or even just not show up. I don’t think I should have to pay a fee for that, he forgot ME first.
