The therapist emailed me forms to fill out and send back before my appointment. The email LITERALLY said “send back before the appointment”. Ok, fine and dandy, I can do that. So I wake up this morning to send in the forms and I see another email from yesterday saying “if I don’t receive your forms by today I will cancel your appointment and assume you no longer want to come”. Now I’m a straightforward person. People need to say what they mean and mean what they say. If someone tells me to send back forms BEFORE the appointment, then I assume I can send them back at any time BEFORE the appointment. (Right now is still 4 hours BEFORE the appointment.) I am not going to assume that “before the appointment” means “some arbitrary time before the appointment”. One day before? Two days before? Three days before? I didn’t see the email from yesterday, but please, don’t change your “rules” in the middle. 
In addition, the therapists forms require me to sign and know my co-pay in advance. Well, I called the insurance and they can’t tell me the exact co-pay so I can’t even sign these forms anyway. The insurance guy said the therapist would have to call herself. This is bananas. I’ve never had a therapist or doctors office require me to know my exact co-pay.
This wonky communication is giving me bad vibes. I REALLY need someone who is straightforward and this woman seems so flaky.
Like, hell-f*cking-o, you are a therapist and your whole f*cking profession pushes effective communication, but you throw this shit in my lap? This is just bullshit.
Edit. Plus she wants my credit card info for cancellations and fees not covered by insurance. I fear that my credit card would be charged if the insurance takes too long to pay (according to her) ie pays in typical insurance time.
This is all sending up my spidey senses. Ugh.
I guess no therapy today.
