How does your T greet you?

My T says, "Hi there" or "Come on in." Sometimes when I walk in, she is already waiting, holding the waiting room door open for me. She knows I am always on time.

I don't think I'd wish for it to be different. Maybe I wish she was warmer. She's kind, but definitely not warm and fuzzy. It works for me though.

Awww!!!

New T: Smile in lobby, usually walk in silence to room. Old T: Big smile, hug if I needed one.

Okay, this is bad, but I just had a fantasy exchange between me and new T (with whom I'm not thrilled right now):
T: "Ugh, you again."
Me: "Hey! Go f*** yourself!"

My T just says Dani, come on in.

Sometimes I wish she would say something like, it's good to see you or I've been looking forward to seeing you all day.

Wow, that's very interesting...thank you!
My T kind of does that too when we walk in, but its a smaller room so it isn't that awkward. Sometimes after a particularly hard session, he stays in his chair and I get up first and I'm sure he watches me walk out...I like it better when he walks out with me.
This is hillarious...if you decided to terminate with him, this should be your closing remark.

My t's office is in her garage so i wait for her in her office, when she walks in she ussually says "hi honey hows everything , can i get you anything ?" ( like a drink or something ) I ussualy say no im all set thank u. Then i start off by telling her how my week went and then we get into the prescence process and do our 15 minute breathing session. when its time to leave she'll say something like "bye honey have a great week" and gives me a hug. I love my T, she rocks!

T pokes his head in the waiting room and makes eye contact and says "ready?". He always smiles at me, and it feels good. Sometimes he has something quick to do, so I sit in his office while he runs to get a drink or whatever. He closes the door and sits across from me and we usually both smile at each other and take a big breath.

I asked him to stop asking "how are you?' but we couldn't really come up with another good opener, so he asks "how are you?", or sometimes I ask him, or just jump in with whatever I need to talk about (I love sometimes how I can just walk into that room and sit down and talk about me, me, me. where else can we do that?)

At the end I kind of gather my things in a pile and then we hug and I usually ask something like "am I going to be okay?" or I thank him for session. Then when I'm done with the hug I say "okay" and he backs up and I leave. One of us usually says something funny as I'm leaving, which is nice.

I like the routine of T. I DO NOT like it when the routine shifts. I'm so hypersensitive to those things in there.

The hallway to her office is connected directly with the waiting room. So she usually comes through the door, smiles, and says, "Hi Mike, how's it going?"

I usually say I'm okay, or fine, because it's a bit awkward saying, "Oh my god, I feel horrible!!!" in front of all those other patients.

I usually see the client that sees T prior to me leave...then a minute later, T comes down and opens the door to the waiting room and smiles. I then walk up to his office and sit on the couch. He comes in, closes the door and then sits in his office chair directly across from me, waiting for me to say something. I usually ask him how he is....and we go from there....

One time, T was more than few minutes late for my session (a few minutes is typical, this was not typical)....and he came walking down the steps with his client...and opened the door (which he doesn't typically do, he usually stands at his office door)...and they were chatting away, laughing, etc. I was irritated because it was going into my session time and I had to get back to work....

So, I got up and walked right past them....T apparently thought I was going to the restroom...cuz when he walked back into his office, he chuckled because there I was sitting on the couch - and he said, "You're rebellious!"....

She's the one who should be saying "oops," IMO. I think you gretting her was normal and didn't cross any boundaries.

If his door is open, I am supposted to go right in. He gets up and smiles and says "Hey, Heather! Come on in and have a seat."
It's a nice greeting.

Most of the time i'm sitting in a corner where T can't initially see me until she walks ALL the into the waiting room and around the corner of the receptionist desk. She then laughs and asks why I'm sitting in the corner where she can't see me, then tells me to come on back. when i'm not in the corner, T greets me with a smile and an enthusiastic "hi, come on back".
