I'm kinda with MKAC. Now might be the time to get out.
I am usually the last client of the day. When she doesn't have an appointment before me, she's on time. Many times when she does have a client prior to me, she runs over by 5-10 minutes. I don't get angry about it, but it does annoy me.
However, I have to take into consideration a few things.
1. She made a professional resolution at the beginning of the year that she was going to be more time-conscious. She regularly ran over with me prior to that; she still does at times...up to 15 minutes on a couple of occasions.
2. I try to think of the client before me. I would not like to be interrupted in the middle of something I feel is important, so I try to give that person the same consideration.
3. Before she made the resolution, she habitually ran over session by 15-30 minutes. She gave me quite a bit of extra time.
4. Most of the time, she writes her notes at the end of the day. So when I run over by 15 minutes, she's there an extra 15 minutes writing notes. I don't like to have to stay at work any longer than I have to...and I work in mental health with people I love.
If there are certain things you know you can't get past and/or cannot take into consideration with your current T (and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that), it might be time to find a T you can trust. When the attachment kicks in, that's when it's hard.
You did a good job stating your feelings. Be proud of yourself for that!
