I've taken to interacting with monks a bunch in the past few months (because a friend of mine went off to be one; see my LJ for a little more information), and they're often asking me how my (meditation) practice is going. I don't think it's quite the same as the therapists asking how things are going, but sometimes I have a similar sense of it being awfully soon after the last time I was asked. (Of course they have twice-daily interviews with their abbot, which seem to address the same question, so compared to that, I suppose that I'm going an awfully long time between instances of the question).
