I think it's always my T who talks first, she always seems to get "Hiii" in before I can, and then there's usually something about the weather or something outside while she turns lamps and lights on and off, adjusts the shades, sits down, and then "So how've you been?" or some variation on that. And then we're on a roll. And I'm so glad - I couldn't have gone to see a T that would just sit in silence and gawp, that would feel too awkward for me. Now we know each other better, little natural silences feel okay.
