No, I can't imagine my therapist ever saying I was attractive, but he has called me lovable, which I feel like is more about the whole person. And the human condition, really, as I think most people are lovable if you get to know them. Sometimes it's helpful to be reminded of that.
He did once comment on my ugly shoes once, only he said something nice about them- I had a foot injury and was wearing running shoes I did not like as they were the only comfortable things I had. He complimented me on the color or something, and after that I looked on them more cheerfully. It was funny to notice the change in my thinking after that, that he could find something nice to say about shoes that I had found so unappealing, and that then I would regard them more kindly!
