If your only three sessions into it right now, I think you have a lot more work developing your theraputic relationship. T's compliments at this point can be taken either way. They can be misinterpreted and misunderstood. Just ask for clarification. In the beginning I used to always follow up a session with...what did you mean by blah blah blah. And he would clarify. Normally he meant nothing, but I thought it was something huge. Trust your T to lead the way a little in the beginning. It's what I did, and we have an awesome relationship.
