It's a mixed bag about how my sessions start. Sometimes he will say 'how are you feeling' or 'how are you' or like the other day he made a funny comment about something political on his t.v. in the waiting room.

We joke around sometimes about politics but very lightly. The only opening remark that I don't like is 'so what do you want to focus on today'. It makes me feel like I shouldn't be there or something.
