Ya, I think you did the right thing. A T should never make a client wait that long. Yes, emergencies come up but to make you wait both times is a good sign that's how it's going to be every time. Waiting causes a lot of anxiety to me. I sit and think; does she know I'm here? is this the right day and time? does she not want to see me? is she even here? I know my T spent a few extra min. with me at times when I was in great distress crying so I'm sure the next patient had to wait a few min. I had to wait a few extra min. from time to time and I was understanding that the patient before me must be having a hard time otherwise my T was pretty much on time.
Sense of time is important to me. Her reply to you about working on it was totally lame.
