I do think therapists see time differently. When there is 10 minutes left, T is perfectly willing to get into something new, while I'm sitting there thinking I'm just going to stop talking.
Sometimes there almost seems to be a time warp in therapy. When I went today, we did ALL of our talking about my fear of him being angry, what seeing his house brought up for me, etc - and I did ALL of my crying - and I looked at the clock, and it was only 9:30. I knew I had like 25 minutes left and I couldn't believe it. I was sure the first part took the whole hour.
T looked at his watch a million times during the last 20 mins of session today (well, maybe a little less than a million). The client after me always glares at me and I'm pretty sure she can't stand me and I wonder if T was trying to get me out of there before she got there? Hum. I finally got irritated and started announcing the time to him (I can see a clock from where I'm sitting)
Time in therapy is tricky.
I can't multi quote, so I'm going to have to make a separate reply to geez
