"his phone is always buzzing away"

I think this would bother me A LOT. The therapy space is supposed to safe from intrusions and reminders of the "real" world - cell phones going off are a reminder that you are taking up space and time and someone else needs him. No matter how present he seems to be, it has to make you flicker a bit to hear the buzzing. How can you completely let go and sink into your feelings?

I think the worry about his ability to sustain the pace probably has some merit. But I would pose the question to you, "How can you be special if he has 40 more just like you?" And if this strikes a cord, then maybe allowing yourself to look at the need to be special is where the work needs to go. If not, then I'm off base and it is my issue (it is totally!) and not yours.

Therapy is just darn hard, isn't it?!
