I'm impressed, Medusa. :) You're even more cynical about your therapist(s) than I am. I agree about the money. I think he'd rather I not be too much bother, but I think the money is his major motivation/concern. And since mine seems to shorten sessions by starting late and ending less late, I don't feel too guilty about calling him.
Hmmm. Admittedly, he is also more willing than I am to let a session run overtime if he thinks what we're talking about is important. So maybe I should consider the session shortening as a reverse phenomenon, and consider what he might find unimportant about them.
Ok, I have another therapist/client question. If your therapist does things that are to your understanding outside the acceptable public range, such as pick his nose or chew at something stuck under his fingernail. Under those circumstances. First, should you interpret it as an expression of his contempt for you, and second, what on earth do you do. I mean, I like doing sessions with my eyes closed, but I also like to glance at him from time to time and it's hard to do that when you're afraid to see something that it's more polite not to notice.
