Yeah, I don't lie down on the couch either but otherwise, it's exactly as you've described it. The only time my T said anything else to me was on a day when the weather was bad and she started by asking if I'd made it to the session okay (duh, yeah, wasn't I there?) -- I almost wanted to ask her in response if she was feeling well

ETA: I believe I have psychodynamic therapy (so, not traditional analysis)
