My new therapist seems bored if he doesn't get a certain amount of time too, nothing inappropriate, but things seem to go better if we're having a conversation, which is pleasant, but I think is kind of a waste of my own time with him.
I would also say that there are some people out there who are just plain old boring--that was certainly true of certain DBSA people (generally depressed) and was one reason I quit. I guess a therapist would find a way to just accept being bored, if he couldn't find a way of squirming out of the situation. Maybe he can manage to think of (therapeutic) ways of entertaining himself.
