A couple of sessions back, at the end of session, I was standing about 3 feet away from her and she suddenly said, "Don't move." She then approached me and proceeded to wipe something off my forehead. She grinned said, "Glitter." I was wearing a glittery shirt. Her approach freaked me out in the moment, but I realized it was a "motherly" gesture as I had glitter on my face.
The only time I remember her saying anything about my physical appearance (aside from compliments on certain clothes, shoes, nail polish, etc.) was early in therapy. I had a nasty sunburn on my face and neck from a day with my clients at Special Olympics. It was cool that day, so I was wearing long sleeves.
I think your T was glad to see that you are getting outside and exercising. The bruising (especially if it was extensive or deep) may be indicative of abuse (from self or others). I have actually asked T about bruises she has had. Apparently she and I are both klutzes. If you don't like your T asking about things, talk to him about it; why it bothers you and see if he will stop.
