In reply to T is shortening sessions!, posted by LauraG on September 27, 2004, at 21:18:46
Mine started out at 60 minutes and a couple of years later he shortened to 50 minutes. I prefer because he is now more relaxed, has had some space to breath sometimes, and also we can go over by ten or fifteen minutes and it doesn't cut too badly into the next person's time - or into mine if I am the one waiting while he deals with someone who needs more time that day.
Do you have the right to be angry? Yup. But in my opinion, you have to talk about it with your therapist.
Sneaky, eh?
Sorry it upset you, but I do think changes like this are upsetting when they happen at certain delicate points in therapy. It's just the way it is. Your T must know this and be prepared to work it through with you.
Hope it goes ok.
