Why? Do you know? This would make me want to kill the therapist. They have no place thanking me for doing therapy.
I find this thread fascinating and awful at the same time (my responses -that you all do it is not being criticized. I am just surprised at how I am feeling about it)?

I understand general politeness or cordiality, but that does not seem to be what is being described on here. I am not generally impolite to the the woman. Just not understanding where the gratefulness thing is coming from.
