So I guess it makes me a little jealous when I see other people text her. She can't seem to sit down without having her phone next to her and I hate it!

That would make me really angry too. And it might even be enough to change therapists if she kept doing it. How old is she? Is this a generational thing? I turn my cell phone off during a session. I figure people can live without me for an hour. I would expect a therapist to be able to focus for an entire hour without playing with the phone. My husband can't, but I'm not paying him to pay attention to me.
