There are times when I feel so troubled that I wish I could stay in the safety of her presence longer...or in the room longer..

I bring up my "longing" feelings. Usually I say something overly dramatic to get her to laugh..."Oh...you can go ahead and bring back the next client...I'll just make myself really small and be over here"...then we are both laughing. She will joke, "Oh, ok."

If I'm feeling very bad, crying and upset...or sick, she will ask if I want her to go down the elevator with me...and watch me get to the car. She is very sweet and funny.

She has told me I can stay in the waiting room as long as I want, if that helps, too...
