I'm with you, there. It just gets so tedious to have to remind them of this stuff. It is not just so simple as tell them to turn it off. Because they often don't remember and each session it's the same. Does it come down to each time you start a session you have to run through a checklist of stuff you don't want them to do? I am not into that at all! A T shouldn't have to be nagged by his clients, and I don't want to be put into that position. They should just be polite and turn their phones off (or whatever) and not have to be reminded each time, like a kid. I tell you the times I have come to session and T remembered to not have his laptop open next to him on the couch just made my day! He remembered! He cared! I'm important! Silly thoughts, but yeah, it is nice to have him remember. Anyway, Kacey, as I wrote before, I've taken to using a combination of direct and indirect communication to get my T to turn off his gizmos.
