What I like to do with my therapists is to call them the night after my appointment and tell them thanks.I also like to when they have been really behaving themselves is tocall and leave a message telling them what I appreciate most about them. For example my emdr therapist is really mellow and she loves to laugh. She also is physicially safe. Meaning she sits by me sometimes when I ask her to. She also is quick to get sarcasm. My reg therpaist has this inner light that shows in her eyes. I only have seen it one other time. SHe is very sweet. She has this inner peace that radiates out. I do this with other people to. I called DOT department of transportation to tell them how much I appreciated them having the driver assistance trucks. I emailed the supervisor of the police officer who pulled me over and told him exactly what behavior his officer displayed and how it was very professional and appreciated. I do this because I have seen the worst of human behavior and when I see something beautiful or wonderful or appreciated I want to make sure that the person knows. Its kinda like a mission. I also write my therapists letters. Its kinda a weakness for kindness so to speak but only real genuine kindness. I think telling your therapists what you appreciate about them specifically can help them grow and also can help you feel like you have given the something.
