They usually say excuse me or something and I understand that things come up . I get that it does bother other people- I'm just saying that there's a range of how people respond And I think the first step is letting them know that you are someone that you doesn't like that. Honestly it really doesn't change things for me other than that I would be probably more polite to a speech pathologist than I ever would be to a therapist

I'm not sure how I'd have handled it in the moment, now that you ask. I'd like to think it wouldn't have happened in the first place. I wouldn't have said anything preemptively because I wouldn't have expected it. And if it was a one-off, I'd probably have just let it go.

It's just felt like more of a pattern with my T, particularly lately. So I think that's why it bothered me. Once the whole move thing settles, I think I'll need to bring it up with him. Like, "hey, could you maybe keep focus on me during my paid sessions?"
