Kind of. I think I'm much more selfish about my reasons for it than some people probably are. I want the therapist to know what works well for me and what doesn't. So I'll say something like "thank you, that was very helpful." I want them to like me, so I'll do a little bit of the social niceties like "did you have a good vacation?" even though I don't care too much. But I don't pay attention to things like when their birthdays are. I find it stressful enough to remember all my family member's birthdays.
