I'm glad he responded in a nice way. :)
Mother issues. Sigh. I know the drill. I'm playing out that game with my mother this week. She hasn't the tiniest concern with what's going on at home, or what's happening with her dogs. Less than the average person on the street, I think. I can't let it get to me.
My therapist is pretty careful with the compliments on how hard I worked or how important what we were discussing was. I guess he realizes (or maybe I've told him) that it is an indirect comment on other sessions. He only really ever says it when I'm obviously drained when leaving a session, and I think he does it for reassurance that it was worth the distress. Do you notice a correlation between when he says it and how you feel when you leave a session?
