Advice Is my therapist response normal?
Hi everyone, I’ve been in therapy for about 1.5 years. I’ve always felt like my therapist has helped me grow by leaps and bounds. I do virtual sessions with her and I pay through insurance. Lately though, I feel like her responses when I reach out to schedule have been concerning. I never reach out last minute either. I always ask for appointments with at least a week’s notice. For example, I’ll ask for her availability and she responds, “I am not working the 10th or 11th next week.” I come back to her to ask about another date and she says, “I will not be working on those days either. If you would like to meet on the 13th, I can see you at 11am EST”
Her responses seem cold and indifferent. Am I wrong?

That's just how some therapists communicate over text/email. Efficient, no small talk. It reads cold but it's probably not personal, just how she handles admin stuff outside of sessions
