She's probably doing paperwork in between clients, and wants to finish up her sentence or paragraph or filling out the form, or whatever. I think they are not just sitting in between clients doing nothing. In the really exhausted days of my past, when I would arrive to therapy before T was ready, I would sit in the waiting room, close my eyes, and try to sleep. (My T has a private waiting room, so I am the only one in it.) Sometimes I did fall asleep--so nice to get a few extra minutes. On more than one occasion, T would open the door to take me in and I would totally startle because I was awakened so abruptly.

I have also read or looked through just about every book in T's waiting room since I've been seeing him for several years now. I used to write down what page I was on so I could resume the book easily at the right place the next time. We have used what I have seen in those books as fodder for therapy on more than one occasion.

I love this image! I also like how you interpreted the squares in your T's quilts. I think you are handling your jitters really well. Dance on!

I love this too!
