Something to think about: If you have been seeing this therapist for more than a year--with no previous problem of this type--maybe something out of the ordinary is going on.
Can you try to hold on...be a little patient until you meet again face-to-face? Of course, even then you might not get "the answer" because what has happened in the therapist's life may be very personal.
Sorry if this message seems a little scattered. A VERY close friend who is a therapist was diagnosed last week with stage three breast cancer (a rare type but I can't think of the term now). She had to cancel appointments, try to reschedule...even when she has the time she is so full of her own stress she can't concentrate. Three weeks ago this was the furthest thing from her mind.
I'm just telling you this so you can try to give a therapist who you say has been very helpful in the past the benefit of the doubt. If he or someone he loves is having to deal with something you wouldn't want to mess up a good relationship unnecessarily.
