> We'll need a list of rules -- or at least interpretations of those that break the rules. As in:
> Being on time - What does too early or too late mean?
I'm always on time, my therapist is always late. What does THAT mean? Unless traffic was good or bad I think too early means you're an over achiever at trying to be perfect and too late means you're not being perfect, the perfect patient never keeps his/her therapist waiting.
> Dressing for the visit: Do you think about it? If so, what does that mean?
I never wear the same outfit twice in a month. I hope it means that I don't just throw any old thing on for our appointments.
>What foods are we endorsing for post-therapy consolation: (I vote for cream of wheat :)!
I vote for chocolate chip cookies.
>What else?How many times is sneaking a glance at the clock or your watch allowable per session?
What about note taking? In order to be perfect I would like to get it down right away and not wait until I get home. (Yes, I really do that- see I'm ready to write that book on therapy.)
