Why does it still take her a few minutes to come get me???? If I'm alone, I'll pace the room or I've even taken my iPod to dance away the jitters.

I would be a nervous wreck as well, so I am not sure I can offer any suggestions on this. I am lucky that I am the only one in the waiting room when I go to my sessions. She takes me right away normally.
This last time, she had an appointment run over and I had to wait! That was grueling!!! I was standing up looking out the window trying to take my mind off of the wait.
I heard some laughter behind me and turned around to see my therapist with a couple. I knew that lady!! That was an awkward moment. I turned back around and looked out the window. Finally, my therapist said, "Are you ready?"
She did ask me in my session if this little incident, "threw me off". I had to admit that it did! I don't know how you all do it waiting in a room with other clients, knowing they are seeing YOUR therapist!
