She has said the following, which was meaningful to me:
"I'm not going anywhere."
"I love you."
"Do you realize how much you're worth?"
"It's okay."
"I forgive you."
"I've been where you are."
"____ made me think of you this week." (Outside of session)
"I promise you there will be healing."
These were very validating to me.
My fantasy phrases:
"I would love to have a daughter like you."
"May I sit next to you and put my arm around you?"
"I genuinely like you as a person."
"I'll always be there for you, even after your therapy is over, if you need me."
