Best thing your T has ever said to you?

There are so many...

"I am here and am not going anywhere and believe in you."
"You ARE worth it!"
"We will always have a relationship, even if it changes from the way it is right now while you're my client. I will always be a part of you and your life."
"You do know that I love you."
"You did nothing wrong. Looking for someone to be a mother to you was self-preserving and natural and actually saved you given the household that you grew up in. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU."
"It's an honor to be a part of your journey."

i think i will be able to move your appointment to wednsday

After I stumbled around and finally told my T that I love her, she said "Thank you for sharing that. And I am honored that you felt comfortable enough to."

(during marriage counseling)

"You are in a room with two men who love you."

"I know you may doubt it, but I think you are worth it!

"I could talk to you all day."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"I care about you as a person."

I'm glad you liked that.

I would have wanted something warmer.

"I love you. I'm not going anywhere. I've been exactly where you are. I did it alone and I did it with help; and trust me, while it was not easier, it was definitely better with someone else.*You are going to smile more. You are going to laugh more. You are going to heal."

"You are worth more than the risks."

"People care about you even when they are dealing with their own stuff." - said when helping me via email while having chemo.

"There is healing. I promise you, Chopin, there will be healing."

"Do you know I mean it when I say I only want what's best for you."

She said that she was confident that we will be able to work thru my transference issue !!!!!

"yes, you can come back"

"I can start seeing you again on Thursday at 8"

"I have faith in you"

After sharing a particularly intense dream: "No, you're not crazy. I wouldn't share that with (pdoc), but you're not crazy." I love that woman!!!

artemis -- I love that! ha ha ha!

I respect you.
I care about you.
You're extremely intelligent.
I am committed to walk through this difficult journey with you.
Stay with me - I'm right here.
We're two people - working together to help you.

(asked if this was the final big piece of the puzzle, at last) ..... Yes, I think so.

I like you very much.
I care about you.
No matter what you write in your emails, it won't change my feelings for you.
Nothing is ever TMI. (I think that's been the most useful)
If holding hands is what that part needs to heal, then that's what we'll do.
I accept all of your parts.

jenluv - I laughed my butt off when she said it LOL! Sometimes her sense of humor surprises me!

I'm right here

I'll be right with you through this!

and he has been there everytime I need him.

New one today!

Me: You seem pretty sure my Mum adored me and was proud of me.
T: Yes.
Me: How can you possible know that?
T: Because that's how I feel about you.

I love you and I think of you as a surrogate daughter

I would have been honored to be your mother

Oh wow, didn't know this would be popular! Reading over this makes me smile, there's nothing like a good therapist I'm always in the mind set 'I wish I could give him more/wish my insurance paid more'

Best things he's said to me(similar to all of yourse ofcourse):
"You have a good personality"
"There's no limit, email as much as you want and I'll respond"
"You have every right to be angry with me"
"You're not crazy"
"I promise you I will not leave you"

The best thing she has said to me is that after all of these years (20) she knows that I will always need to be able to have contact with her even after she retires and that's OK. She is in her late 60's. I have struggled for so long on trust issues, mother issues, real early abandonment issues and she has provided me with the support and consistency that has allowed for me to become who I am. Oh and she always says "of course" when I ask her for a hug. The last session I had with her she really hugged me tight more than usual. I thought I saw a tear in her eye. She is truly special.

That one I see was pretty nice about it when my dog was very sick.
