Therapy Scheduling Issues - I love my therapist but they are not able to schedule sessions on the weekend or Friday evening and I’ve missed 7/10 last sessions scheduled due to last minute work stuff. I’m sad I’m losing a great therapist. Should I try to make it work or find someone with more scheduling flexibility?

You need to make your own diary more flexible. Treat your planned session as if it were a client meeting or meeting with your boss and keep to it.

What if you schedule them for mornings? People typically make deadlines for EOD but no one asks for things by an abstract morning time.

As someone married to a therapist who overstretches their schedule to mostly fit in clients at their leisure, make it work. My spouse sees people almost every day of the week and gets home almost every night Sunday - Thursday until after 9. They are finally coming around to the fact that they need to set boundaries and if their patients want to see them, they will fit within my spouses schedule.

My therapist won’t see me Friday after 4:00. Knowing folks like your husband exist makes me wonder if I have the right therapist or not.

Switch to early morning therapy, whether this therapist, or someone else. Work stuff doesn't push out 7:00am appointments.

(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly.

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.
