I think now I do not care so much about the waiting room anymore. My previous T had two doors from his office, one to the waiting room and one directly to the staircase, so that the client could come from the waiting room and go out from his office without meeting previous/next client. There was also another T using the same waiting room but they had slightly different time schedules so I met another T's client maybe twice - I think it was very thoughtful but I really hated clients who were leaving their jackets in the waiting room so after the session they were always coming back instead of going out directly - I just hated them for it...

Current T also shares the waiting room with another T but as she sees me over-hours I do not meet clients from another T. From my T's office it is also possible to go out without passing the waiting room but of course the previous client always leave her jacket in the waiting room, so I meet her almost every week. And of course all clients always say hello to each other but I've already learned this word in this funny language so it's okay. My only thought about another client is that it's a pity that she has to see T because she's so young and looks so nice and my T is a trauma T...

On the other hand I like waiting rooms because when I come just after work, I like having few minutes just for my own, to relax, think what to talk about etc...
