Opening of a Psychology Session

by Andy
(Co.Fermanagh, NI)

I recently had numerous sessions with a Psychologist and she did something with me which irritated yet intrigued me.

When I walked into the room and took my seat she just looked at me stared and smiled for the longest 2-3 seconds of my life....what is this procedure called; its so unusual that it has to be part of something as its actually creepy because it coaxes me into speaking first.

Is she attempting to gear my mood etc?

I would love some feedback

Thanks.
