sorry for the late reply but i HAD to put in my 2c.
i (like fayore) have strong feeling about your post. Ya most doctors (MD) offices you have to wait but that is a different kind of scheduling process than T's, if your sick unexpectedly they try to squeeze you in.
with T's they sessions are a predecided time and have set scheduling throughout the day. and quite frankly T's should be on time. like raisin said its part of the safe frame of thearpy.
now my t can vary from being 5-15 min late at times and i'm fine with that, cuz you know if one session goes long than the whole day is off. BUT she normally apologizes and thanks me for waiting (not that she needs to, but i think its good curteosy).
ALSO, she sounds like a T that PACKS her clients in so tightly and doesn't allow for delay time. she should know her patients and shedule accordingly.
My T now schedules the person after me later because she knows that i often need to go over (if i dissociate and need regrounding).i think you should DEFINATELY find another therapist...#1 because it is unprofessional to expect clients to wait an average of 1/2 for you. BUT more so because of her attitude...i mean SERIOUSLY..."lets work on your issues with promptness"????!!!@#$#*@#&(*@)$!!!!
Sorry but WOW bad first impression...RUN don't walk to the next therapist!
Best of Luck
