When I first started with my new T she walked me to the door and watched as I walked away, waving as I went. I saw her and nodded ever so slightly in return. A few sessions in she asked me if I minded, and said that it felt new to her as a T to want to stand and wave me off, like she was waving her child off to school and trying to reassure them that she would be waiting for them when they came back.

Slowly I have evolved and now I wave back and smile, but each and every time she stands and waves. I have never felt like she wouldn't be there waiting for me when I come back so I guess it helped. It is such a lovely thing to be secure about, leaving into the world with her 'behind' me, no matter what has gone on in the session. I can't always leave it there but that is another thing.
