It must differ for everyone, but for me, it's demonstrated by results in daily life. Good therapy is happening when I can apply a new technique or mindset -- as instructed by T -- to a recurring problem and arrive at a better outcome, or at least more acceptance. When feelings of shame and embarrassment are gradually replaced with self forgiveness. When feeling personally vulnerable and observing others being vulnerable brings about thoughtful engagement instead of being a trigger for fear/disgust.
