My former T had an embarrassing time but I thought it was great! I saw her in her home office and she used to leave the door unlatched. This one time she was late and called me several times to say she was stuck in traffic. Usually she was in her office seeing patients before me. This was an exception. She kept apologizing and saying it was unprofessional and she was sorry, etc. I know she was embarrassed.

I, however, was fine because she had such a comfy waiting room which was actually her study, with her things in it. I just rested on her couch. I felt good in a way because this T was kind of a perfectionist, professional type, a stickler for rules. Totally unlike my current T. This experience made her more human to me, to see her flustered. I was sorry she was embarrassed, and told her it was okay. I forgave her.
