I think these are quite good examples for the superficiality of many therapists. They throw up these generic meaningless phrases, and if they please a small percentage of clients, they perhaps think they are doing a good supportive job. But many other professionals and sales people say similar things as well to clients. They may or may not be true for a particular case but are more often not specific or carry any deep message at all. I do like positive reinforcement but more sophisticated and tailored than these.
