I'm actually glad (for the most part) that my T does keep to a firm time-schedule. It keeps things predictable and running on time - I like to know where I stand. There was a session once where I felt he should have been flexible with the ending time because I was very upset - that's the one time when, well, I wished it were different. There was also a time once when there was a distraction - he needed to leave the room a couple of times and take a phone call and he was clearly agitated - he then, after all that, ended the session a few minutes early which was the last straw for me - I stood up, looked at my watch pointedly and left. The reason for the agitation - he had employed a cleaner and she had lost her way finding his house, even though she had been there the week before - and he found that stupid and was annoyed, and his wife had to go out to try and find her.
I just wonder how a T could keep going for 2... 3 hours - stamina-wise - how could he keep it together and remain professional seeing someone so intensely for so long? I think that could be very tiring for patient and therapist.
