Thank you all for your responses!

I agree with the general consensus. I told my dad about this and he was baffled..he thought it'd be like something you would see in a comedy movie. A client crying + spilling their guts on the couch and the therapist nodding along and texting. Ha!

I know you all say to raise the issue with her next time, but I have my hesitations. I have Social Anxiety pretty severely and I hate anything that has even a hint of confrontation! I'm really bad at ever standing up for myself..basically, I have no backbone. So I do not know how to address the situation without fear that I'm doing something wrong on my end. Is there any specific way I could address the issue for someone like me who has little self-confidence and is shy, etc?

My dad told me I should just stop talking every time she picks up the phone and wait for her to put it back down. That's a little too aggressive for me.

Also, I wonder if she does this to her older clients or if she feels because I'm younger the texting issue is no big deal to me or something. But it definitely is when I'm spilling my guts to you and wanting your full attention..AND PAYING YOU FOR IT!!!

gah.. -.-

Thank you all again!
