GG,
At least you don't just sit there until the client starts. I would hate that! My therapist usually asks, "how are things?" Or "How are you?" if I don't launch into something.
The worse was once he said, "I think your pre-session anxiety followed you in here. I feel it." I worried the whole session about making him anxious. I finally said "I want to say I'm sorry for making you anxious today..." He looked confused and then said, "no, I meant I could see it all over you." *sigh*
The other "standard phrase" is when he ends a phone message. I like, "I'll talk with you soon." But once he said, "OK, be well." and hung up. If I was "well" I wouldn't have called!! urg
