I struggle with receiving compliments, but I've learned to simply say thank you.

My T does give me compliments often. Normally I just say thank you. If I don't believe it, I'll tell her thank you but I don't believe it. She always responds with "That's okay".

The receptionist at my T's office once gave me a compliment. I was still extremely scared of people, so I brushed it off. But I felt so guilty about it. I wrote her a card apologizing, telling her I appreciated her compliment, and it did make me feel better about myself. When I gave her the card she almost cried.
