My T gives her clients a whole hour, not 45, 50, or 55 minutes, which I greatly appreciate. However it means that she sometimes sees people back to back as it were, and it can give you the feeling that her office has a revolving door but if I have to wait a bit I don't mind at all, I know that she takes the time she needs to finish with you before she lets you go out, which I really respect.

last week we were just finishing up, and she said, we have to stop now; that's the time she writes up appt for the next meeting, and while she was writing I asked her a question. She answered me, and while she was talking & saying goodbye, we walked together out the door & out to her waiting room.

the other client was sitting there. As I went by her, T said to her, "I'm sorry, I an just a little bit late."
The client sood up and said, in a little bit of an icy tone, "I *DO* have an appointment with you today, don't I?"
I had my hand on the doorknob of the waiting room and I froze for a second. I felt that what she said was more for me to hear than for T, but T had to put up with this because of me.

Anyway...any good pointers on how to STOP when she says, we have to stop now? Maybe I should I bring a cork with me when I see her, lol - ?
