When I'm waiting to see my T I always sit behind the biggest potted plant she has and bury my head in one of her old magazines. One time another client came out, and cheerfully greeted me with hello. I kinda mumbled Hi back, and my T said she was really surprised that we'd talked at all. She's in private practice and her waiting area is at the end of a long hallway, and her office is at the top of stairs so you immediately go downstairs after the appointment.

I hate waiting for appointments to see my pdoc - thank heavens they're first thing in the morning, so not to many people are around, but the waiting area is in a very busy hallway of a psych hospital so there are always nurses and other staff going by. I feel really self conscious.
