I can't think of anything good right now. I'm too pissed at my T at this moment.

"You are capable of giving love to someone else. There's a lot of it inside of you."

"I think you have a very strong character..."

"I'm excited for you."

It will probably sound odd compared to what you guys consider the best thing your T said, but after a rupture, my T said sorry, and I could see she really meant it, nobody ever said sorry to me in that way...
on the same occasion she said she was very very happy that I came back after what happened, and that I was very welcome.
That last part may have to do with her need to earn money of course, but anyway, it was such a sweet thing to say, and to hear...

"But I do!"

(I had said "I do need you to love me")

There are too many to mention, but maybe: "If holding hands is what that part needs to heal, then that's what we'll do."

Also: "I'm going to get a special frame and put it (the collage I made for her) up on the wall".

He said "You have everything it takes." and then "I really enjoy sessions with you."

The first thing was "I'm sorry" after a rupture. That went REALLY FAR in helping my trust grow.

I know he loves me, and he's told me that, and that feels good.

Once I asked him what it would be like if we had met outside of therapy, and he said "I would really really like you and want to be friends with you. And I would probably be selfish and want more of your time than I should have". It made me feel like...T really DOES like me.

ouch, that one made me wince and smile at same time.
Been there.
And my T didn't seem all that cut up to hear that I'm cancelling till after Christmas, either. so much for being her favorite client.

Once she asked me what I had thought I might be, what I'd wanted to be, growing up, and I said a clinical psychologist, and to my amazement she didn't laugh, and she said, you would have been a great one.
It was phrased in the past tense I know, but I valued it all the same.

lots of stuff over the years, but in the beginning he said to me "I'm on your side" and i had no idea what he meant, didn't get this whole therapy thing and actually had to go and ask a friend at work what he meant, She looked at me like i was crazy, but i just didn't get it

Well, it sounds strange maybe to say it was 'the best', but I think it is one of the best because I felt like T really heard and understood me. She offered this when I recently and unexpectedly said out loud, for the first time, "I feel like I am nothing, just nothing. "
She surprised me when she leaned forward and said, with great sincerity, "I know you do. I know that you believe that to the core. I know that you believe it is absolutely true.... and I hope we can explore this together to see that it is not."

I'm going to get all pissy and upset because my T hasn't said so much that was great.

But to date, he ended one of sessions where I was all wound up with an off-the-cuff, sincere, Relax.

He is so clinical so much of the time that I fall all over those sincere moments.

My therapist called to ask me how I was doing after a doctors appointment she helped me to schedule since I am terrified of doctors. She left a voice mail telling me she hoped everything went well and to call if I wanted to talk to her about it.

And on another occassion she left me a voice message after I phoned her all upset over our session and she said she was so sorry that I was feeling the way I was after the session we had and that i should not blame myself for how I was feeling and that I could call her even though it was her day off to talk about it further.

Also I told in her one of my sessions that it feels like I have no mother I can count on (my mom is just not emotionally there for me ever) and she truned and looked me straight in the eyes and said "then you tell me about it and I will listen"
