I think sometimes after we've been through something particularly traumatic or dramatic, we don't know quite what to do afterwards. It's kind of like after 2 people have an argument, and have said really mean things and screamed at each other. Once they finally apologize, it's kind of they don't know exactly what to say next.
I guess what I am trying to say is that it all feels *awkward* at first....Maybe you were feeling slightly awkward about opening up after how things had gone that week before. And it sounds like he was trying to be sensitive to your feelings and keep things light since he knew you didn't feel like getting into the deeper stuff right then.
I wonder what my T thinks of me too. It sounds like your T cares a lot about you and is really laid-back, like doesnt push you to talk about stuff you don't want to.
What does the wife look like?? It makes me feel weird to remember 'oh yea, my T is married...' and his wife is a witch! I talked to them one night when we were at the same restaurant and she practically stared (or really, glared) a hole through me the whole time, and barely said nice to meet you when he introduced me to her!! Oh well...
Hope things go better for you at your next appointment.
