Pet peeve

Not that it makes it ok for somebody to barge in, but I can`t help but wonder what would be so hard about your T getting to the office early so he can be on time? If he routinely starts his day running 10 min late.. that`s a less than ideal frame for therapy. I`m just sayin`...

My thoughts exactly.

As for ts running late I look at it as if that person is into something painful emotionally and need time to get grounded. I would exspect the same for myself.

I've never been T's first client of the day (usually I'm the last), but if I were first and she was late, I'd be pissed. Since there's usually someone before me, I don't mind if she's running 5-10 min late because I'd rather the person ahead of me finish up their session well. She was 30 minutes late one time because a client near the beginning of the day ran all of her other clients late. I wouldn't have minded so much, but I had no idea what was going on, so I started to get pissed in the waiting room.

T usually goes over by 5-10 minutes with me too. However, if a client tried to beat down the door while I'm in there, I think they might get a tongue-lashing from me!
