As saying "goodbye" is such an universal thing in most relationships I donīt want to beg her to do this. If I have to "instruct" her to do such an easy and to me self-evident thing it wouldnīt feel genuine if she then said goodbye and such.
I also feel that if she in some way does this to show me we are not friends or something like that, such a cold attitude wonīt work with me and she doesnīt gain anything by it. A T should be careful around these things and wanting to build a relationship because what else is there to work from?

I doubt your therapist is testing you- I can't imagine why a therapist would do such a thing. It would be a good idea to tell her how you would like things to be so she can make it so- you are paying her so it's important to be open about what will make you happy with her.
