My T rarely gives me compliments and when she does it's never about my body (she knows I have a history of disordered eating) -- usually things like "I like that dress" or "cute bag!"
I chalk up her sparsity of compliments to the fact that, in my case, she is there to help me identify troublesome thinking patterns and how to change them rather than make me necessarily feel good about myself. I compliment may make me feel better for a few minutes but helping me develop a positive way to respond to emotions will make me feel better for life
