Being on time - What does too early or too late mean?
I always struggle with this. I like the five minute rule. My T doesn't even take me until 15 minutes after my apt. time. I always wonder what she does with that time. Does she try to remember who I am? Does she reread my file,thinking to herself "what a boring hour this will be", does she gossip with her coworkers?> > Dressing for the visit: Do you think about it? If so, what does that mean?
Yeah, sadly I am guilty of this too. Since I go after work, I sometimes wonder if my coworkers notice that once a week I look better!> >What foods are we endorsing for post-therapy consolation: (I vote for cream of wheat :)!
Sorry I like a nice glass of wine.
> How many times is sneaking a glance at the clock or your watch allowable per session?
The only clock I can ever see is the one she says is not really for patients (what ever that means!). So I never know why it faces me!
> How often is it "OK" to call your therapist, After hours? During business hours?
I can't even imagine doing this though I read how so many of you feel free to do so. I have never been offered the option and would be afraid of overstepping my boundaries!
> Have you searched on the internet for them (my personal favorite)? Driven past their house? Do you know what kind of car they drive? Do you know the car's license number?
Internet...guilty. I even found her husband (different last name) and know what he does. Have driven past where she lives....on my way somewhere and "happened to be in the neighborhood" lol.
How do they view us? And, do we really want to know?
If I only knew that I might feel a bit more relaxed. I also think she'll be happy if I work hard. I have the feeling she might like to see me cry.....UGH
