I absolutely do not agree with your therapist about her decision. For a client to sit in the waiting room for say, 10 minutes, following a session in order to calm and ground is perfectly acceptable - and if the client is driving, it could be a matter of safety.
For the record I've been stalked by a man. It was 6 to 7 years ago. I was terrified. The way it ended was that a police officer telephoned me and told me they were holding the guy; he had been in the street, holding a hatchet, screaming that he was planning to kill me when they picked him up. After that he was told that if he was in the town where I live he would be arrested (he came from a city some ways away).
I lived for years afraid of him - it still leaves me edgy.
Bottom line though, I was in no way stalking my therapist.
