I tend to watch the clock that I can see from T's couch where I sit. It's not good for me because I get upset to see the minutes ticking away. Most of my 60 minute sessions seem like 5 minutes! My T said that she is going to move or turn the click around just for me because my watching it is keeping me from being mindful. I think the clock is on the wall so that may not be easy!
Even without my report, there never seems to be enough time! Last session when there was 5 minutes left, I said " This is going to be the best 5 minutes of my life. My therapy life, that is." She smiled. She thinks I sometimes stall and wait until the session is almost over to get started. That's not true. She thinks it's important to talk about my reactions to her, as in how I felt not emailing, goal of my therapy, etc. It's not my fault that then half of the session is over!
