I think Tamar may be on to something. Do you think you resent that you have to change your behavior to accomodate this other client's unusual behavior? I think that would be reasonable, even as I'm glad your therapist came up with a partial solution.
I'm trying to figure out what the other person may be gaining by this. Is she curious about other clients? Obsessed with the therapist? Or frightened by the waiting room for some reason? Do you leave at exactly the same time every week? I usually wait in my car and time the walk to my therapist's office to arrive at exactly the hour. Perhaps she's timed her walk to arrive ten minutes early?
I have to admit to sneaking a peek under my lashes at other clients waiting as I leave, or leaving as I arrive. But I wouldn't go out of my way to do it.
