I can understand that changing a session time to accommodate someone else can be frustrating or upsetting for some people.
In a therapeutic setting, it's essential for both the client and the therapist to have consistency and reliability in their scheduled sessions. Changing a session time without a valid reason can disrupt the therapeutic process and may lead to feelings of frustration or disappointment for the client.
If a therapist needs to reschedule a session due to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, it's generally considered good practice to communicate the change as early as possible and offer alternative options. Effective communication and collaboration are crucial in maintaining a healthy therapeutic relationship.
If a client feels triggered or upset by a sudden change in the session time, it's essential to discuss these feelings with the therapist during the next session. Open communication about any concerns or emotions can help address potential issues and strengthen the therapeutic alliance.
Remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and therapists should strive to create a safe and supportive environment for their clients. If you ever experience difficulties with your therapist's scheduling practices or anything else during therapy, don't hesitate to talk about it with them to work through any challenges that arise.
