I'm not looking for advice, just wondering if anyone can relate. My T leaves a gap between sessions, so I don't normally see any of his other clients. There are some other therapy rooms in the same building, but they seem to time sessions carefully so they don't start or end at the same time. So I don't normally see anyone except my T, and occasionally one of the other therapists.

Today, I got quite upset towards the end of my session and my T let the time run over a little bit to make sure I was calm and okay to leave. I then went to the toilet, so I left a little while after my appointment would normally have finished. On my way out, I passed a girl who went and sat in the waiting area, and I realised she was almost certainly my T's next client - and felt REALLY irritated with her.

It annoyed me immensely that she was really pretty and had nice hair. (I don't have romantic feelings for my T, so it wasn't that kind of jealousy. I do have problems with comparing myself unfavourably to other people.) I only saw her for a few seconds, but I've remembered her face and it's really annoying me.

I'd never really given my T's other clients much thought. I thought I was indifferent to them. Now I think it's the opposite - I don't like the idea of them at all. I'm really surprised by how annoyed I was with this poor girl, just for existing. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
