Alex, I understand your anger. Those phrases sound so cold and formal.
I'm not sure I understand the message he sent you though. You had told him you didn't want to continue seeing him, and effectively fired him. He suggested you come in one last time and proposed a time this morning. You didn't respond until this morning?
I don't know the context, but the exact words you quoted sound as if he is willing to see you again, but that he thought you had fired him and didn't wish to see him again? Am I missing part of the story?
These things are so abominably hard to do in phone messages or emails. I nearly always end up upset with my therapist when he emails me because he does use formal wording and things like "I wish you well". In conversation it's different, and we can work on misperceptions (on both sides) as they happen.
Is he willing to see you to discuss these things in person?
