MY therapist has complimented my clothes and that i was looking 'good' but only sparingly and in the right context. I had lost some weight and to the gym and staying active is important to me so essentially she was playing off my lead. It wan't random or overly flattering.

I feel like T might be aware of a client who might be dealing with self-esteem issues or depression and help them with some basic compliments. For me, I feel It's important to tell myself that sometimes I DO look good and am attractive people and it's okay to compliment someone else as well and it's also a part of the growing process to receive compliments and take them in without expecting an ulterior motive.

That being said, the compliments you listed above seem to border on flattery. I can't see the context in what you've written. Was the compliment completely out of the blue or was there something you said leading up to it?
