My Pdoc has paid me a compliment on my figure at a certain weight range (he specifically used the terms 'nice' and 'attractive'), and he has told me he thinks I'm a mature and intelligent woman. Both compliments were delivered matter of fact in a neutral, yet empathic tone, with no undercurrents of anything untoward. Having said that, in session the focus is on me and how I'm feeling, as it should be. If my Pdoc ever does speak about his own feelings, not necessarily towards me, then it's usually to illustrate a point, or help to further or foster the therapeutic relationship.
