I can't recall the specifics, but early on in my therapy there seemed to be something going on where my therapist was either late or doublebooked or something was wrong about the timing. I finally told her that if a client did that, the therapist would see it as resistance, so I asked her if there was something about me or my therapy that she was resisting? I was being sincere in asking because I really did think it was too much of a pattern to overlook.

After that, no more issues with lateness or other scheduling problems.
