Over time, I've just learned to kind of average things in my head as far as session length goes. My T almost never cuts my time short, although it has probably happened a few times. But considering the multiple times he's gone over our session time with me, considering the time he's spent with me on phone after hours, I can let a few minutes give or take go pretty easily. He's almost never more than his usual 10 minutes late (which I've come to consider his normal starting time so it really isn't late in my book). The few times he has been later than that, it was clear he was working with a client who needed that extra time. He still gave me my full session.

My pdoc appointments kind of work the same way. He's usually within about 15 minutes of our scheduled time, but things happen. Patients have emergencies that cause sessions to run longer than scheduled; I've been that patient on a few occasions, so I can understand that.

I've learned over the years that most appointments don't run quite as scheduled. I don't get too fussed about it unless I see the problem is that a doctor double or tripled booked patients (yes, that happens with medical specialists ALL the time). THAT is aggravating and those situations can cause appointments to run literally an hour or more behind. So, 5 or 10 minutes is truly small change to me. So long as I get that expected and allotted session time, I don't sweat it too much.
