Something I´ve reacted to several times now with my new T is that she behaves kind of strange around saying goodbye when I leave. The first time she followed me to the door, I shook her hand and thanked for the session.

Then for some sessions she just headed for her desk after the session and she barely looked at me when I went to the door to leave.

One session I hinted that I´m very observant about how a T acts and at the end of that session she again followed me to the door and made a friendly remark about when we were to see each other next time.

Today, one session later, she again just headed for her desk and she barely looked at me. I didn´t want to be rude and just leave without saying "goodbye" or something but next time I think I will.

I think this is a strange behaviour I link to a T being irritated in some way. She doesn´t show that during session though. The prevoius T:s I´ve met with have all had some kind of ending ritual like follow me to the door, open the door and say goodbye and such.

I don´t want just to ask my T about this and I also don´t want to "beg" for a proper goodbye.

I think me just leaving could get her to realise how she behaves, saying goodbye in a friendly manner I think appertain to most relations and if I just leave she could realise how I feel about her behaviour.

How to interpret her actions around this? Is she testing me or boundaries around therapy?
