I know what you mean. I do not like the idea of going over time at.all. It happened once with my current T and I was sooooo upset when I realized we went over. I was very apologetic and felt horrible on my way home. I finally told my T I did not want the time to be adjusted beyond our regular ending time. He seemed to believe it has to do with a strong need for clear boundaries and I've noticed he is more careful now about being clear and communicating with me. Like last time, our session started 5 minutes late because he was running behind and he told me that we could go 5 minutes over to make up for it. Lol.

Yeah - I need VERY clear and consistent boundaries. Maybe it's because I've been hurt in the past and it made me feel so out of control(?) idk....I feel for you. I hate having to be so worried about stuff like this cause honestly, it is Ts responsibility and not mine /:
