When your T does something that really helps you or clicks with you, do you let him/her know? Do you thank him/her or say "that's it" or "that's exactly what will help me"?

Sometimes it seems that T's hear from us when they don't handle a situation well or don't meet our needs or say the "wrong thing." But does anyone give positive feedback?

I am not good at giving positive or negative feedback to my T. I think a couple of times I've told him my needs and what didn't work. I remember once I really tried to thank him for all his help, but was largely unsuccessful. I guess I feel we are connected a lot, and he must feel that, just as I do, and that is his positive feedback. Or when he sees from my reaction how "right on" he is with what he has said to me. Or sees me smile, or relax, or feel comfortable enough to cry in his presence, or trusting enough to share things with him I've never told anyone. This is his positive feedback. But is there a time to be more direct?

Just curious...
