Sorry to hear that. That's horrible, disrespectful, and unprofessional in so many ways. What did she say once you told her that it bothered you? I think it's probably time to find a new T if she continues to act the same way. I had issues with mine as well in the same fashion. I had many sessions where she was on the phone with her husband or an insurance company in reference to another client. She gave me a heads up during my session that the insurance company was going call during my time. Unfortunately this was often. She would also check her phone often and her attention seemed to be on her phone and whatever was hog in outside of the room we were in. It was tough but I had to weigh if it was worth continuing sessions with her despite my attachment to her. I eventually left which was hard for me to do but it was equally or more frustrating feeling disrespected during session which was once a week. I wondered if she did this with others as well but I can't see other people sticking around the way I did like an idiot that I was. Therapy is not cheap and that time is your to use. You are there for a reason and if she's not providing what you need and not fulfilling your expectations perhaps it's time to find someone else.
