I've just noticed lately that she will sometimes (or I only notice sometimes?) kind of wrap up our session by commenting on the primary underlying theme of what we've talked about. The problem is that I don't notice until after the session, when I realize I didn't pick up on it. Sometimes I notice the clock and it's at a good place to stop, other times I'm oblivious to the time and she'll say "Well, we have to stop here". That used to make me feel so humiliated, early in therapy! But it is just something comfortable now, although I may be wishing for more time.
