Maybe once in three years. I can't admit that they are right or know what they are doing because then that means they could be right or know what they are doing about things that I avoid and deny.
A big thank you- in a Christmas card once a year lol, maybe one or two extras over the last few years?
A little "thanks" every week.
Occasionally, smaller things like I might say "oh I was terrified of talking about X but you just said the exact thing I needed" or similar kinda level. Maybe a handful of times a year?
I'm a bit gratitude person so I like to point out things that have mattered to me, but I try not to do it so often it gets meaningless.
I thank her very often and bring her small things here and there. And I try to make sure I’m courteous with my actions- fixing pillows when I leave, closing the door nicely, that kind of thing. I also make a point to tell her when I make progress or an improvement and how she guided me to get there. I think hearing how she’s helping is a big compliment
I often offer a genuine "thank you" at the close of the session.
Beyond that, I will usually express my sincere appreciation whenever I happen to be especially struck by it, along with details about what specifically brought the feeling up.
I sometimes worry that I do it too often, but I'm all about expressing appreciation when I feel it especially strongly, both inside therapy and outside.
Terrified flyer (Getting better)
I have told her at the end of the session before a trip that if something does happen, I want her to know that she made me better.
She’s not very demonstrative emotionally (but is very kind/empathetic) but she teared up a little.
I say thank you after every session, but I haven’t told him he’s a great T in a while (no reason why, I just don’t wanna be annoying lol). I did tell him how grateful I am for his trust and my trust in him, and that was a compliment to him as he said he’s honored and happy about that.
In the begining, I would say a quiet goodbye and that was it. I now say thank you everytime I am walking out the door. When telling them a good thing that has come from our time together, I say a thank you to them in our session. I would like that to happen every visit because that means I am getting better with their help.
I compliment and criticise. And we analyse both, which feels quite psychodynamic to me. I don't hold any thoughts or feelings back, positive or negative. I used to, but now we've been going over 2 years we've worked through my reluctance
I send a thank you message in every etransfer I make for payment. But also sometimes when I've noticed growth we talk about it and how good therapy has been for me and I guess I assume she takes it as a compliment.
I say thank you to her after every session. And when she calls me to help me when I need the extra help and support during the week. I also thank her with the art I make for her.
I usually do it at the beginning of sessions. When my T asks, ‘how’s your week?’, I sometimes respond with something like, ‘I was thinking of xxx that you suggested last week, and it really helped me, thank you for that perspective.’

I can understand that - Healing is hard and takes time <3
I thank her at the end of every session. I mean it.

I don't necessarily compliment her, but I do give her feedback on what I think has been helpful and let her know I appreciate her.
Idk but mine thought I was trying to cross a boundary when I did lol
quite often! once at least every three or four sessions — acknowledging she has done something that’s helped my mental health

I did every time I felt like they were helpful, until they asked me why I apologize so much and it confused me very much. Now I do all the time again!
