One thing I'm not clear on is whether you tell your therapist that you're looking at the clock for that reason. I think most therapists, seeing a client looking at the clock, might assume that they're not doing the client any good.
But if you point out that you aren't just looking at the clock, you're also busy developing a bond that will serve you well in the future of your therapy, he might feel like he's doing some good after all.
But that does depend a bit on the type of therapist he is and how much he values attachment on the part of a client.
