My Pdoc has called me intelligent, compassionate, intuitive, caring, attractive, mature, strong, and resilient. His compliments are always sincere and not given lightly, and it has really helped to challenge my own negative self image which tends to be 'I'm stupid, useless, weak, ugly, selfish, greedy, and so on', because that's what I heard growing up. I still find it exceedingly difficult to accept the compliments I'm given, but just hearing the words and know they do come from a place of sincerity it does chip away at that shell of negative self thoughts and allows me to feel like there's a chance that one day I can be confident enough to believe all those things for myself.
