My T starts the same way as yours does. He closes the door, settles into his chair and looks at me. It's up to me to start the conversation. Once in a while, I'll mess with his head and just say "hi!" He says it back and then says "how are you?" Then he realizes he's started the actual conversing part and I win.

He ends by looking directly at the clock and saying "I have to stop us now," and then he usually gives me a parting thought. It's usually a different way of looking at something that he asks me to consider or a reiteration of something he said earlier. Then he reaches for his appointment book and the session is over.

Once in a very great while, he'll think of something else he wants to say as I'm walking to the door. It's usually something he wants me to focus on before our next session.
