Every once in a while, I will tell my T, usually at the following session, "That was the nicest (or best, or whatever) thing you've ever said to me" (or ever done), and we'll talk about why. It may be some off-hand remark, something that demonstrates his increasing familiarity with me (in many senses of the word), or like when he says i'll see you TOMORROW - I LOVE that, I don't know why! So simple. Anyway, right now I can't think of anything else I want him to say (except maybe great abs! well maybe next year) but I do think it is important to acknowledge these moments of theirs, and wondered if anybody else did. I think it helps them in the long run to say more of what we want or need.
