I've been mostly lurking awhile and I've read alot about statements made by our T's that we interpret as negative. So I was wondering.....

What are some things your T has said to you that made a positive impact?

For me it was my first visit to my Pdoc. I was embarassed about having to see a pdoc. I was trrying not to disclose my work because I feared being judged. Mr. Stoneface-no-personality-pdoc says:

Pdoc: "do you like your job"
Me: "yes".
Pdoc: "what do you do"
me: "I'm a nurse"
Pdoc: "oh do you work at a hospital"
me: "yes"
Pdoc: "oh which one"
Me: (slightly under my breath)_____blank_______Hospital (which of course he knew was a local psych facility)
Pdoc: "do you feel bad that you need a pdoc because you work there?"
Me: "yes"
Pdoc: "well, even pdocs see pdocs"

I instantly went from being full of fear and anxiety to being completely relaxed in his office.

So five little words changed my outlook on my illness that day.

Anyone else have something positive examples?
