Love love love how Bob pushed back on Kirk’s lateness rant, that I’ve noticed Kirk does all the time. There are so many reasons why someone may be late. Cultural, trauma, medical, disability, anxiety, neurodivergence etc and it’s not as simple as just give yourself enough time to get there. When I was young, my dad would love to be like at least 30 minutes early to places because he enjoyed getting the inside scoop on things and that would force me to speak to strangers even though I’m introverted and have social anxiety. I’d rather be 5 minutes late to a thing soni can avoid that and even at times in my young adult life, even when I literally wanted early or on time to something, my subconscious or something would prevent it. I’m much better now and for the more important things I’m at least on time/only 2-5 minutes late to things but it’s a struggle and very real and I see that the on time/early people really don’t get it and are very judgmental about it which, at least for me, makes me just not want to meet with them at all.

Thanks for sharing. That makes a lot of sense. I'm sorry you went through that. To clarify, yes, there are many understandable reasons why a therapist would be late, as long as the late therapist provides a justification. But his therapist doesn't provide a justification. If he said, "I had a work emergency" or "I have a medical problem", then that's totally understandable. I've treated many clients and heard many stories from friends about therapists who are chronically late without justification. These clients tell me that they were harmed by these therapists, which is awful. I'm not "ranting" against lateness; I'm ranting against clients being harmed. I've had to spend months of therapy with clients just addressing the trauma of a neglectful, chronically late therapist. And this is more common than it should be. Also, if a client doesn't really care about lateness, then that's also fine. But Bob has told me that he is perpetually hurt by his therapist's lateness, to the point where he has talked about it many times, both with me and on the pod, which makes me sad and upset for him.

Regarding white therapists, I wonder if, there are so few minority therapists because of both, limited access/pathways and a limited perceived need. I’ve read it referred to as the luxury of therapy. Minority cultures, historically, have not enjoyed the luxury of therapy. They’ve been focused on survival, raising their families and being safe. I’m An African American Hapa and am the first and only member of my family to go into therapy. My family and relatives on both sides, were fighting to survive and exist. By the time I came along, we had enough social comfort and I didn’t have to solo focus on sustenance; affording me the luxury of therapy.
