This T has a small little waiting area, I always arrive right on time, but I still sit in the waiting area even though her door is open. She usually waves me in right away. When I sit she asks if I want water or tea, I always decline. Then she asks how I am. I was never able to speak much with a therapist, but with her for some reason I don't care so much what she thinks of me. So I usually can just tell her what's going on. Because there is so much going on with me right now, we usually have things to catch up on.

About 5 minutes before the end my phone vibrates, so I pull out my check and lay it on the table. She usually says, "well, we talked about a lot of things today, but I would really like to remember......." and she sums up a few high points. Then she will say "is there anything you would like to add?" I always say no. Then she says, "I am available.....(or I'm not available on....) please call me if you need or want to. I hope you find moments of peace this week."
