My T uses that from time to time. Typically after a hard session and she is sorta checking in to make sure I am okay and don't need anything else to happen in the session before she lets me go. I am surprised by the people who hate that question! I love it! I feel so reassured when she asks it.

I have answered a few different ways. After getting into some traumatic stuff, I have asked her to engage in a little small talk with me to help transition out of that mode and get myself back together so I can go back to my office. Sometimes I ask her to reassure me about something specific. Sometimes I just ask for a hug (we do that, so it is okay).
