How does your T start the session?

he comes to the waiting room. he says hey whats up how are u etc. then he goes to the bathroom. then he comes out of the bathroom and we go to his office. usually he will bring up something that i texted him about liket his time he brought up that i was paranoid. sometimes he asks if i want to play cards.

He arrives late and makes some small talk.

They [T's] do odd things like that some times.

I had to think about it... She started by saying "How did you feel this week?" and I say everything. She used to say "How are you today?" And I would always say ok. I guess she figured out the aforementioned gave a better response.

He sits in silence.

How has your week been?

Always... "Hi OT, how have you been this week?" in the same tone, for 99.9% of the sessions we've had. LOL.

T comes to get me from waiting room, followed by "How are you?" or something to that effect as we walk through the hallways to her office. I give an honest answer to that question because we both know I'm not well. We make a little small-talk as we walk but when we get to the office, it's time to get down to business. From there we just segue into talking about whatever is going on.

She asks "how are you?" then I tell her and ask her how shes doing. Then shes says "tell me about your week".
