I need a way to time keep better. I don't know what happened today -- usually I have a better feel for what time it is. I think two things, usually I can hear the University clock at the 1/2 hour and there was too much landscaping noise today.
We also went in a direction that I did not anticipate. It got heavy, I got upset and I think I tuned out. It wasn't tears (I wish!) but it was me just pouring out stuff. And then, I took a breath and he said, "we have to stop." I was shocked. He wasn't rude or anything, it was just so abrupt, I wasn't ready and I was mortified to see that we had run at least 7 or 8 minutes over.
He keeps the clocks turned away from me, on purpose. We've talked about that -- he said he doesn't want me worrying about the time. But I don't want to repeat today, and I can't keep looking at my watch, that would feel rude.
Suggestions? Should I bring it up? Let it go?
It is 21/2 hours later and I still feel shaken. Maybe it was just the session itself... whatever it is, it feels YUCKY!!!
