At my session this week, I scheduled the next one, and I got the very last appointment during the week that is 3 weeks away. I'm lucky to get that one, even though it's a shorter session (50 min) than I usually schedule (90 min). I told T I could meet any day that week at any time, since it is my week off, so I was very flexible. So, essentially, it takes about 4 weeks to schedule an appointment. I guess it's no wonder the interval between my appointments has drifted to 3-4 weeks. I couldn't see T more frequently even if I wanted to.

I'm wondering how long it takes you to schedule an appointment with your T? I guess this wouldn't apply to people who have standing appointments but those of us who schedule one appointment at a time. Or maybe I'm one of the only ones who doesn't have a standing appointment?

Even though I wanted an appointment 3 weeks away and I got one, this is making me feel vaguely dissatisfied, like T is too busy and has too many clients. I guess I want his practice to suit me rather than to suit him.
