Sure. They admire my tenacity, and have complimented my dedication to my family and my parenting skills. They appreciate my honesty and candor as well as my determination to find a way through and beyond my struggles.

It seems unnatural to not give compliments. Don't think I'd be terribly fond of a therapist who didn't acknowledge my efforts, successes, and positive qualities. How do we learn to bolster our own self esteem if those who know us best don't help us see our strengths and learn to acknowledge them in ourselves?
