I don't think they opt not to comment because they think we look awful. Every single person who saw me thought it was a great haircut/color. I think he chose not to say anything because he just didn't want to take the chance of making any sort of comment on my physical appearance and run the risk of me interpreting it in a certain way. But it still annoyed the crap out of me.

My T sounds like yours only she was a female and I asked mine why she didn't comment on moods, expressions, dress, "new" stuff, etc. and she confessed she wasn't necessarily very good at noticing or interpreting body expressions and preferred "words". She was a very matter-of-fact person and not into "conversation" about the weather since that wasn't what therapy was about; she wanted to do the work is all :-) I never felt I got the once-over or anything from her (even when I wore bedroom slippers to therapy, I had to bring them up. Another time I brought a bright afghan/lap robe, same thing, I had to start the talking about them.) Sometime you should point blank ask him :-) "Do you like my hair?"
