I think that my therapist is great for the most part. However, she has never given me a compliment when I do something right or need to be congratulated and it bothers me.

Today I told her a story about something that I did really well and she was all smiles, nodding her head etc.... I know that she was very happy for me but she wouldn't say anything like, "Good Job!" I asked her why she never says nice things and she asked me why I need to hear the words when I knew that she was happy for me. We talked about it for 20 minutes and she still wouldn't verbalize her comments. It drives me crazy!

Can anyone relate or does anyone have any comments? Thanks in advance.
