This probably sounds a little strange, but I wonder if my T has just been waiting for me to set a boundary? Maybe even pushing my limits to see if I would do it. I am super accommodating in all my relationships (which some take as an invitation to walk all over me) and this extends to T too. Double bookings, lateness, not returning phone calls, looking at his computer in session, etc. I know some of you here have not been as accommodating as I for similar behaviors from your T. I don't really think T would deliberately do this because he's so transparent, but I did just think of that now. Kind of a weird thought. We did discuss in our session the difference between being flexible and accommodating.
