I think having the alarm go off is an indirect communication and she would do better if she just said things directly (isn't direct communication what Ts should model for us?), such as, "our time is almost up." That's very easy and requires no alarm. I would not like the alarm either. I expect my T to just tell me when it's time to go.

My T has always had a clock facing her before...and still does! I know the battery is not dead (she's used her alarm before when the battery died). My T has not, to this point, been the type to do something so passive/aggressive as to set the alarm as an indicator for me that it's time to go. In fact, the one session where I kept watching the clock, she called me on it and suggested that I let her worry about the time. So, I'm really not sure what's up with the phone alarm. Maybe I just need to ask her. She's always before let me know when our time is nearly up, and suggested we start wrapping up. I was good with that. I dunno - the alarm thing happened during the extra session that I'd scheduled, which wasn't on my regular day. Maybe she has the alarm set for the client she usually sees at that time and forgot to turn it off?
I know, I know, I really just need to bring this up with her. If her phone alarm goes off today, I will.
