My therapist is always at least 5 minutes late but no later than 10 minutes. But she always ends on time. When I exit I always check the time and it's always at 50minute if not a minute or 2 earlier.
Idk how to bring it up without feeling like I'm being petty. :/
It's an office where you sign-in and the assistant phones her. It doesn't matter if I show up right on the dot or 15 minutes early.
Last week she emphasized we only have 50 minutes a week, but like not really right?
I don't think it's personal though. I've gone to her group sessions and she regularly started late but ended on time there too.
I honestly can't remember if in the past 6 months she's retrieved me from the waiting room before 5 minutes. In this time I've also watched other clients come in, sign in, and wait no longer than a minute or 2 before they're retrieved.
I'm really just not sure how to word it, or bring the topic up as I'm awful at communicating already and bringing stuff up unprompted or unless it's related to something we discuss.
Also maybe should mention my psychiatrist(same office) is always late. But It feels easily forgivable as she has gone longer than our scheduled 25minute session, has still tried to give me 25-minutes when I was late, and I don't mind that she's running a bit behind because she was finishing up with another client.
I feel like because it doesn't bother me with my psychiatrist it shouldn't bother me with my therapist.
