^ From a therapist-friend, in case any in-therapy-friends ever worry about this.
And this is because it would be really shit of them to open up your entire brain into hysterical Upset and then boot you out without helping you find equilibrium, but there is probably someone right after you. Just to fully articulate.
Yeah exactly. When I do therapy I always keep an eye on the clock so I know when I have enough time to keep opening up big issues, vs. when I have to work on getting them back to stable so they don’t leave my office and walk straight into a wall.
Thank fucking God holy shit
[ID: The first image is a screenshot of a post. It says: “PSA: Your therapist is probably not looking at the clock because they hate you but because they have a question in mind and need to know if there’s time to actually deal with it.” The second image is a GIF of a woman looking at her computer screen, getting so overwhelmed with emotion that she starts nodding and crying.

Every medical professional keeps an eye on the clock. We’re also checking how much time has passed and if it’s time to give you a break to recuperate or if we need to overrun the schedule and by how much.
