Yeah, that doesn't seem right to me either. It's like losing a family member. Well, it actually is losing a family member! Would she have expected you to come if you'd lost a child? Maybe so . . . but that seems pretty extreme to me. I'd be interested to hear her rationale, when things calm down a bit.
And that's another thing. This shouldn't be about her making a living. It should be about whaet's best for your therapy. I mean, yes, of course, this *is* how she makes her living, but that doesn't mean that she can charge you when things like this come up. Presumably you've paid her plenty in the past, and will pay more in the future. If she is helpful to you, that is. I mean, you're paying her to consider your therapeutic best interests, not just to support her life or whatever. It's supposed to be about you.
good luck with this. I don't blame you at all for being upset.
