If you’re paying this is a problem you could use that 5 minutes to talk… mine does it all the time sometimes 15 minutes sometimes more but I don’t pay for the sessions.
Might be a great time to take a hard look in the mirror, and take inventory…
You can talk about this with her even!
But you’ve shared on here that your last therapist stopped returning your calls?
I don’t see everything on here, but I think you also bravely shared something to Zombiemombie that your one time sexist ‘styled’ comment was tied up in your delusions…
I’m taking a harsh tone but only because I get the impression that you struggle for things to say in therapy… so tell your therapist maybe! Trust her more. They call it ‘intimacy’ but You probably know that already.
Again maybe harsh, I just had my therapy session this morning and it went well that’s the only credibility for me writing to you right now! : )
i don’t know if it’s normal but i know my pdoc does it too but i pay less then too… i don’t have to pay much but sometimes he does half a session for me and then makes me pay like half… normal sessions are like an hour but sometimes we are done at half an hour.
If it is bothering you then you should talk about it with her… would be hard i think but if it really bothers you then i would do that.
Sometimes my therapist ends early if we have reached a natural stopping point. It is only a few minutes at a time. I think because she doesn’t want me to start unpacking something else and have to cut me off partway through.
Starlet’s last therapist had a huge problem with ending like 30 minutes early and I had to fire her.
5 minutes doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, but if you have a problem with it, make that known to her. Tell her you want the full time every time because of negative past experiences.
Starlet gets very specific about it with his new therapist also because of his previous experience. He refuses to leave the office until the exact time and makes her keep talking whenever she tries to end a few minutes early.
She has never cut short our 45 minute sessions - but I don’t know if that’s because I’m relatively well - nobody would think that I suffered psychosis - I live a very normal life now, and people would call me a normie
