I was relieved, because even though she hasn't looked at her phone in a session with me before, it feels weird having a distraction present.

Thanks, Lost--for some reason, I never realized R came to your home? (I'm actually not sure how I'd feel about that, a T coming to my home--virtual was enough!--but that's neither here nor there.) That would make it easier for you to put your phone elsewhere for sure. I wonder if she puts her phone on silent or keeps it in her purse for your sessions? If you've never heard it. Ex-T used to keep hers in her purse--there was one time it went off, and she apologized profusely, saying she'd had it on during her lunch break or something.
Meanwhile, Dr. T has his sitting on a table next to him. It's on silent, though. Ex-MC used to keep his in his pocket, not on silent, and would look at it whenever it went off, which really sucked!
