Re: "I can appreciate that you are angry w/ me and that is totally ok with me.
What a schmuck! You send the guy an e-mail that he agreed to. And he does not read it prior to the session. So essentially, he doesn't do his homework. And it is okay that you are angry at him!!?? What you deserved was a full out apology. Because you dropped a pretty large dime on that guy, and ended up upset because he was not prepared. Your unfortunate crying jag was his responsibility.
The next time, send him the e-mail the day before. And tell him in the intro that you want to explicitly address the issues identified in your memo. Then before you go to his office, print out two copies, one for him and one for your self. So if he has not read your read ahead, a least he will have some reference for what you want to talk about.
Only you can make a judgment as to how professionally committed he is to you. But his behavior was professionally lackadaisical. If he does it again, you may want to suggest that you will have to find another provider whose professional standards are up to snuff. And remind him who is working for whom.
Good luck.
