I don't think T has ever actually asked to see my homework, she usually asks how my week has been and if there is anything I want to start with. Then I usually say 'yeah yeah, week was fine, I've done some writing/wrote that letter etc' and she says 'ok, how did you find writing it and do you want to share it?' And we go from there.
Could you try something like that if your T also starts your session this way?
