I will just quickly summarize the whole process....

T works with a bunch of other T's in a very large old mansion where there are tons of rooms and stairs. There is a large reception area where you check in and pay. I pay and sit down to wait for my T to call down to have them send me up to her office. When it's time,(On the dot, NEVER late) I hike up 1/2 million stairs and arrive at T's office usually a little winded. She always enthusiastically says, "Hello, SoConfused623, come on in!" I sit down we look at each other and she says, "Where would you like to start?" There are very little pleasantries. And I always say that I need a minute to catch my breath and then I get embarrassed because she's just looking at me waiting for me to say something.

When time is up, we are both pretty aware of it because we can each see a clock and she always says the same thing, "And we are there" and then she grabs her appointment book. We agree on a time and she says, "see you then" and she watches me walk to her door which is about 4 steps away. Something is wrong with her doorknob (it's more than 100 years old!) and sometimes it's hard to get the door open and she just sits there watching me. I hate this part! I think that in the past 2 years, I've only seen her standing twice...

I think that I'm going to talk to T about this awkwardness and ask her to tell me a little bit about her self while I catch my breath. This would just be for a laugh because we both know that she would never tell me anything!

Then on the way out, I'm going to ask her to open the door for me if she doesn't mind...she's in phenomenal shape and it's not like she's lazy, I just think that she stays away as part of her boundaries. In fact, she never shook my hand when we first met either...
