I am T's first appointment at least 2 out of 4 appointments. I am pretty sure that at least 2 days a week, she goes from doing therapy with me to either her own therapy OR a supervision appointment. I think she has made concessions in her schedule for me because she knows I can't come later in the day due to childcare constraints. For a long time, she saw me at 8:15am on Fridays when I am pretty sure she doesn't normally start with patients until 10.

I think that sometimes she's probably glad to start with me (and get me out of the way) and sometimes would like to start with someone easier. I am easy to work with (I think) but I have a lot of intense trauma to work through and it gets pretty intense.
