I was double-booked twice this year. The first time was with a married couple who were there for the first time, and the fact that T chose me over 2 (probably-) working people was a breakthrough for me (mother always chose brother over me, even now). I think part of it was, T was showing them how he treats / values his clients? But NOW, I think I have the time slot right after them, and the wife makes me wait in the outer outer hallway! She closes the door to the waiting room, so I stand outside the suite with my back to the entrance until she and her husband leave, and I don't turn around until T says my name. The first few times I was feeling a little weird, kind of lonely and shamed and abandoned, but they are entitled to their privacy as they leave T's office, esp for any final words, and I have my phone (and PC) to keep me company while I wait. Still, probably need to discuss how I feel about it with T, instead of just swallowing it. Good thread, kacey, although i'm sorry you had to go thru all this. it was already being hard enough, having to share him with group people and all.
