Thanks. Yes, the start- and endtime is important to me but when writing about this the session time has never been the only thing that I was hesitant about. It often goes hand in hand with other things the therapist does and how I feel about her.

For example, my former T said to me several times that she found it very important not to be late for sessions. She always met with me in the waiting area like a minute or so before we started. Then, at the end, she often extended the session some minutes. She could perhaps schedule more freely than a therapist within public health care and that makes a difference but acting like the most important thing is for the client to leave on time, to me that isn´t considerate.

Your therapist needs a bit of downtime/transition time between clients. There is a reason therapists try to stick to a schedule; when they don't clients are not happy because it affects them.

It seems like you have made many posts about how therapists start and end sessions; it's almost like that is a bit of a fixation for you.

What happened DURING the session is where the real meat is. If that isn't satisfactory, that would be the larger concern it would seem.[/QUOTE]
