"How havw you been?"
"Fine."
T gives me her look.
"Ok, sorry, wrong answer for you. Time to take off the normal-mask..."

I either give her sth I prepared for the session to start a discussion, or she starts on a topic to get me to talk.

Then, we go from there.
I fight with myself a lot because theres always so much I want to say but can't becauae I have serious issues talking about emotions. Im glad she can deal with it and usually our session go smoothly. Aometumea o get hard-headed or stuck and things go nowhere it seems, but usually I figure that out between sessions and we can go from there after I've had my time to think about it nore thoroughly.

If im her last client, we sometimes walk out together chitchatting and part in the parking lot.
