He lives 15 miles from me on country roads and it takes me 20-30 mins to drive each way.

How far is T's office? 20-25 minutes away.
How far am I willing to drive to T's office? Um, at this point I'd say up to 2.5 hours!!

10 minutes from work. 30 minutes from home. I am only willing to go 20 minutes from work since I can only see T during the day.

I presently drive 40 minutes but I would probably drive up to 2 hours one way for her.

About 10 minutes unless I get caught in a traffic jam.

At the moment it's 45 minutes, but if I decide to do the DBT in Rome when I move it will be 2.5 hours. I don't drive, though, so I have to rely on public transport, which takes a bit more.

26 miles - in traffic, that takes me about 45 minutes.

For this T, I'd be willing to drive hours to go see her if necessary.

35 miles, which can be up to an hour or more depending on traffic. I don't know how far I would drive, tbh, probably farther than I'd think I would if it came to it.

Mine was in another state, 1-1/2 hours to and 2-3 hours to get home (rush hour, of course). Fortunately it was a 100 minute, back-to-back session so leaving work somewhere between 12:30-2:30 (often I'd go home, which was on the way, and change into more comfortable clothes :-) and getting home around 7:00 was worth it. Lots of time to think in the car -- talk about your distracted driving! LOL

First it was about 30 minutes by public transport. But she got a new work place (temporarily) and that was a little bit farther away. It was about an hour drive, but I usually went with public transport which took about 1.5-2 hours. And now she has a new work place, permanent, which will be closer to me. It's about a 30 minute drive. It would be an hour longer if I go with public transport, so I hope I can borrow my mum's car.

PrevT was one and a half hours away, one way...in California traffic. Ugh. But I would do it again to see her.

Current T is thirty to forty-five minutes away...depending on traffic, weather and road construction.

I don't drive. T's office is very near my workplace so it's my regular 30-minute bus ride and then 10 minutes' walk.

My T is only about a 10 minute drive. However, now that I've been with her for 5 years, I would be willing to travel a fairly long distance to stay with her (like if she moved to another city).

About 10-15minutes from work or home. For therapy, maybe 20 minutes I would be willing to commute. That, actually gives a range of several communities via the highway.

Just over half an hour drive.
I would drive an hour to see her, maybe a bit more.
I wouldn't want her much closer. I like the drive, it's quite grounding after session.
And I like the distance!
