Glad my advice was helpful!
I think your T asking how you're doing is different from, say, a coworker or acquaintance asking you. The T really wants to know.
I know what you mean about being expected to say "Fine" though. When I was a kid and at my pediatrician for a sick visit, he would say, "How are you?" and I'd always be like, "Fine!" Then he'd say, jokingly, "So why are you here?"
