She has the choice whether she interrupts your session to glance at her phone. She has a choice whether she leaves her phone on or not.
Surely, if there is no pressing emergency, she can check her messages in between clients.
Not professional at all. You are paying for her full attention.
I admit, I don't like this T at all.

Thank you for all the support! I have contacted T3 to ask her about doing two sessions a week, (I like the support and consistency right now) if I quit T1. She wrote me back that yes, she could arrange it, but suggested I not do anything to terminate with T1 until our next session, as she has some ideas to help that process go more smoothly and healthily. I know the two Ts do NOT like each other. I can tell just in their words. And although it took me awhile to warm up/feel safe with T3, it's finally happening, so maybe now is the time.
With T1, I've been seeing her for two years (two years like, right now...actually I think the 22nd was my first session with her) and have disclosed a lot with her for the first time ever, so there's an attachment, a history there, and I do have love in my heart for her. So that's what makes it hard. But, I think I've outgrown her.... or our ruptures are just not able to be moved past in a way that I can learn to trust her again as I once did.
I punish myself, at times, going to therapy....because I know it's not good for me with her, but attachment keeps me going. Then it's just a viscous cycle of beating myself up for continuing, but not being able to fathom the thought of leaving. It sucks. But I'll get there. I think now that I've told T3, she will surely help me, and I know she's supportive of it.
