My T comes and gets me from the lobby. We make small talk on the way back to his office. He looks over my depression scale worksheet which will sometimes give him an insight into how I'm doing that week. And then he'll sit and wait until I say something first. He waits until my smile breaks down into something more 'real' and we get started. If it doesn't, he knows I'm not doing well and will start the conversation himself.
Just one time he walked slowly by the scales to see how I'd react just after we were discussing my ED in the beginning. Notice I said, just one time? That never happened again.
Towards the end, because I tend to keep an eye on the time too, I ask him what I should be working on for the next week and we discuss that. He asks if I'm safe and if I'll be back to see him for our next visit.
