In reply to T is shortening sessions!, posted by LauraG on September 27, 2004, at 21:18:46
hi Laura,
sorry you were upset!I think that many T's schedule solid packed days of back-to-back clients, and having only 10 min betw. each one doesn't always give enough time for bathroom breaks, water breaks, and most importantly, time to reread notes and reflect on the next person.
Sometimes if they don't have adequate prep time between clients they aren't "up to speed" or don't have enough time to do the mental switch from one person to the next.
Leaving 15 min. might mean she'll be more relaxed & better prepared for YOU and won't waste time thinking about the previous client, or wishing she could have a snack, or trying to remember what you said last time. Hopefully it will make your T sessions better! :)
But definitely ask her. Probably, if she's like most people, she'll feel bad that YOU feel bad and will rush to explain so that you don't need to stress about it further.
good luck! :)
