Do you walk into the consulting suite ahead of T?

Or do you walk behind?

I walk behind because I don't want to seem too eager.

I think he follows, ladies first. But once he opens the door, we're attached.

I make him go first, I can't stand anyone out of my line of sight.

He buzzes me in and stands next to his chair, waiting for me. I find that weirdly comforting.

I think I understand. I like it best when I'm late - then the inner door is open, so the sun or a light is shining, and he's sitting in his chair reading and looks up as soon as I approach.

Oh Hank I just had images of Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, I don't know why. You made it sound romantic.

Before I told him about my erotic transference, he used to open the door and he walked first into the room. I followed.
Now, he just leaves the door open and waits for me in the room. What d'ya know...

Either/or. Not for the room but there's another door between the room-hallway and the waiting around, and sometimes I open that door and hold it for him. haha.

My T always lets me go into the room first. Maybe next time I'll insist she go in first and see what happens.

My T leads us to the room, but waits for me to enter first.

T always walks in first. She comes out to get me and I follow her into the office. I've often noticed I find it somewhat uncomfortable because there's not a lot of space between the door and her desk and she is the one who closes the door, so she waits at the desk until I'm inside. So there's this awkward time when I'm walking in and she's basically looking at the wall or right at me, so I try to rush to the chair and make it less weird. Now that I think about it, I'm wondering why I don't just close the door. Might try that next time.

She always lets me go first as she stands by the open door. I spend way more time than I should worrying about how I should leave the room. Let her stand up first and lead me to the door? Stand up as she stands up? Start walking as she stands up and go out first? Close the door behind me? I've tried many variations and it always feels like I am doing it wrong.

I walk in front, but usually sort of turned to the side because we start chatting generally from the moment he comes to get me.

I didn't think I was late, but he had the door open today - it was wonderful! He can be a dear. I told him about this thread yesterday - he said he wasnt aware I liked it.

Speaking of mr darcy, they just started Downton Abbey on one of my free channels - yay!!

Kind of embarrassing story... first time I ever saw her, it was the first T I ever saw. She walked in first and sat down, and I didn't close the door because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to. Don't know what I was thinking, but ever since then she has always let me go first. haha

I always walk in first, and my T walks in behind me. However, when we leave, she always walks out first, and I walk behind her....

I follow T to the room, although sometimes she tells me to go on in if she needs grab something

My T is in a counseling group and there's a locked door (locked on the outside) to the hallway where the T's offices are. She comes out to call me and carefully closes the door behind us...she takes forever. I'm always to nervous to awkwardly stand there waiting for her so I bolt back to the comfort of her office.

The whole thing is kind of weird but I'm used to it now. I think she actually offered for me to go first when I first started coming anyways. And she's always had me go first as we leave her office too. Now that I think of it, it feels kind of weird always having her behind me. Maybe I'll try and walk with her from now on.

CBT T walks ahead of me from the waiting room to his office, never even looking back to see if I'm following. But then he stops at his door, opens it and waits for me to enter first.

Walking so far behind him feels strange. He is polite, but even so it feels very dominant to me. No small talk on the way to the room except for a hi or good morning.

I walk next to, or behind. The one time I walked ahead my therapist said I was literally running into the room that was during a manic episode.

She stands at the door and motions me into her office.

The door is open to her office and I go in. In the rare instance where it is not, I follow her. I greatly dislike her being behind me where I can't see her.

My T will be in his room when I get there and will open the door for me.

Generally t goes comes to the waiting room tells me I can go back and he does stuff in the reception area, or gets a drink, etc.

If he calls me in generally he will go first. But I always make him shut the door behind me. I can't bring myself to put my hand on the door to shut it!

My T opens the door and I walk through down the hall to her office. She watches me the entire time, paying particular attention to my body language. Sometimes we discuss it right out of the gate. A couple times I've even asked myself what my BL is telling her. Overall she says I usually appear angry. (huh) OK, A couple of times that's been very true. I think it's just that I'm anxious most of the time. Besides having to go in and talk about things that aren't always comfortable which makes me anxious, I'm always just a little too excited to see her & that makes me nervous.
