Is it normat that my psychotherapist takes extended vacations in Christmas, Easter and Summer?

George asked:


While I was in the middle of a therapy, my therapist said that its was about Christmas and had to leave for Cyprus to enjoy the days with her parents.

If she is entitled to take extended vacations in Christmas, Easter and summer,

a. Why shouldn’t I have the same rights to leave therapy for equal number of months for my personal reasons?

b. Why shouldn’t I have an alternative months during which I should feel the therapist’s presence and role?

   Last I heard, a person has the right to work or not, as s/he wishes. (Of course s/he runs the risk that the work will disappear.)

   You have the right to acquire and dismiss therapists as you wish. I believe a therapist has a corresponding right to accept or decline patients.

   Unless you have been involuntarily committed, you have the right to leave therapy.

   Question (b) is not quite coherent.

   Bottom line:
   There are many more therapists than would-be patients. Unless you are extremely wealthy, you’d be wise to be grateful for what you’re getting.
