Go hiking. (But that's how I like to spend the day with people anyway. If I've got a whole day with someone, enjoying nature is a great way to spend it.) Talk about things that are not the hard things in my life, like parenting adult children or baking or all the rest of the daily life things we chit-chat about when we're easing into or out of a session.
