Therapy sessions can go over their time slots for a number of reasons.
It’s always okay to make your own call if you need to end a session on time. If safety is involved, always do what is best for your client. There is always the possibility that you may just feel that you all aren’t ready to end your session at that moment, and if you have the time, there is nothing wrong with extending it.
1. Have a visible clock - Keep this where you and your client can see it.
2. Use a silent alarm on your watch - Or phone, set it 10 minutes before the session should end so you can start directing the session towards a close.
3. Verbal cues - Feel free to give your client a 5-minute warning so they can find a wrapping point in the session.
4. Schedule the next session - Pull out your planner or go to your computer, start to plan your next appointment, asking them when they want to set the next one so they know that today’s session is over.
5. Front-load the session - Let the client know from the start that you will be ending the session on time today.
6. Nonverbal cues - These can be a range of things, like closing the notepad, moving to the edge of the seat, and going over to open the door.
7. Redirect leaving comments - You know the comments where the client drops a huge bomb on you as they are walking out the door?
8. Between session availability - This is a really handy one to have if some of your clients are going through a really hard time.
9. Shift directions - Start to angle the session into recap mode.
Remember not every client is the same and they may need different approaches.
