I expect reasonable punctuality with variability if that makes any sense. I'm not a clock watcher when I go to therapy. His pattern is start after the hour and end more or less on the hour which creates a pretty consistent 55 minutes. But when we start and end might move in one direction or the other depending on when he ends with the person in front of me.

My appointments are always the last one in the day, so I expect the schedule may have shifted some by the end of the day. He will go over with a client, including with me, if there seems to be a crisis. He won't let me leave if he feels I am not safe to drive, so I'm sure he is that attentive with his other clients. I appreciate that level of care in my therapist, so I'm certainly not going to complain about it.

Life's too short to fret about 5 or 10 minutes give or take once in awhile. Not worth the stress. I have real problems. Clock watching isn't one I choose to add to my list of stressors.
