Plus I've had her a s a professor prior to me seeing her and during our class she would talk about how she handles emails, texts, and calls. I knew how she functioned prior me seeing her. She spoke mostly about one client and she had her as a guest speaker towards the end of the semester. It was what she said and how she said that she functioned that made me seek her as a therapist after my class ended. Then I realized that the only person she spoke in a positive way was that particular client and everyone else fell below her. My expectations were that of a good practicing therapist but this was something that I didn't expect. I don't see any of what she said that she practiced in my sessions at all. That's not to say that she wasn't a fantastic therapist to her but I've been in the office and I've heard enough from her to know that she does play favoritism so not all rules apply to everyone. This is a rule for me. I'm just going to my last session tomorrow and quitting. I was going to cancel and call it quits then but it would've been too late to cancel.
So wait, she'll be talking to or texting with another client at the start of and/or the end of your session? Like before you've left the room? Wow, that's really unprofessional, and it would definitely bother me. Does she even apologize? I would definitely mention that as part of your termination session tomorrow.
