My T used to use her cellphone to remind her it was the end of the therapy hour as she has a habit of running overtime.

The first time, it sounded a musical alarm like a calm ringtone, which she reacted to with "Whose calling me?" but I knew it was an alarm because I'm familiar with cellphone preset alarm ringtones.

Next few times, it was a much softer chiming.

Then eventually, the cellphone disappeared and she let sessions end at 1 hour 30 minutes give or take 5 minutes.

My phone is always in my bag with airplane mode on. Learned to do that after my boss called while I was in session.

My first ever T would play on his phone during CD guided relaxation tapes or when I was talking...
