Oh yes, great topic. My T used to have a clock where I could see it. Since I am terrible with time, just terrible (I swear, it's a brain deficit!), I kind of miss seeing the clock. I wasn't one to watch it constantly, but I hate hearing "we need to stop". It does feel disappointing and kind of like a gentle criticism or nudge...I am almost wanting to type "spank".
As far as leaving, sometimes it's much worse than others. There have been times I've busted loose with more crying as soon as the session ended, because I didn't want to leave the safety of his office. I also tend to make small talk as we are rescheduling. Hmm, I never thought of this as attempting to extend, but now that I think about what y'all have said, and my new client who constantly presses time, hmmmm, must be something to it. I can't really remember many times when I just bounded out the door feeling good. :)
Someday, sigh.
