Oh don't Kay. I kept looking at the couch and thinking, we should be doing this
while you're on there! Trouble is, there was no natural break and no
interruption point. She just talked and talked, bless her. And like a daft
person (!) I let her, rather than saying something in the "tell you what" or
"sorry to interrupt" line, which I know she wouldn't have minded. Grrrrrrrrrrr -
lol. I'm pretty certain she'd happily talk for England at any future
appointments, so I already dropped an extra appointment into my calendar as soon
as I'd got home.

I think what bothered me most was that I hadn't had breakfast and that by the
time I got home and could eat, it was 2:45! Mea culpa. Thanks for the help and
support, as always. :)

It's always a tricky one. If it's of any help in the future I use a little
ruse, when people are whittering on (offloading) I say something like, "I would
love to hear everything you say as getting it all out is a good thing, but why
don't we just make a start on your feet at the same time, otherwise we're going
to run out of time." Once you actually touch them, that may well take the place
of the need to offload, as their body will do the releasing, not their mind. The
reflexology will take over.

Also, just a little heads up - don't think it's all over. You may need to
remind her at the beginning of the next session that you have a client to follow
on her treatment (whether true or not) and that you won't be able to spend as
long as last time.
