I'm worse at judging the earlier part of session. Sometimes, I feel like I've been rambling/we've been chatting a long time, but then I look at the clock to see it's only been about 10 minutes. Other times, it's more like 25.

oh i feel that so hard - i don't ever want L to have to say "we need to stop" either. too much of a reminder that it's her job I guess. so i tend to keep an eye on the clock, as she has a 2nd one facing the couch. she always says it's her job to mind the time, but then if that's true why is the 2nd clock there in my face! I think one of these times I'ma go in there and turn that clock around to face her and LET her. Although like una said I'd probably sense when time's almost up anyway just because I'm programmed too.
