My T has said a number of times, when we are sitting facing each other at the beginning of therapy, and there is a silence as I think what I want to start with, "I'm all ears."
It's very welcoming--he is ready to listen to whatever I have to say.

I'm with you there! I would hate this if it were a regular occurrence. My T has said something like this only a couple of times when we were doing special protocols.

I have patients too and I must admit I use a variation of this pretty frequently.
Mine is "tell me more" or "tell me more about that." It seems to be working OK. I hope the patients aren't secretly holding back screams of annoyance when they hear that.
