Rub the skin area often and frequently, it'll grow thicker with time
Get smarter. Back when I was younger, I'd often go on a date only to meet a ghost. Took me 2 times to learn to call the girl 30 minutes before the date to confirm if it was still up. No answer? I'm not getting out.
Your case was a professional appointment. I don't suppose your therapist said she wouldn't be available today? If she didn't, that's her fault. When you manage to meet her face to face, calmly state that it made her look unprofessional (if she gets upset at that, well, she's not a good professional, imo)
In the meantime, just remember that whatever gets you worked up will be thrown into your face, either by life, internet randos or something else. Feeling angry is addicting, but it's pointless most of the time.
No! Calmly state that it made you feel unsafe. There’s no reason to go straight to a character attack; any competent adult will recognize they fucked up when another tells them that their actions made them feel bad.
