What a popular thread. I felt peer pressure to join in even though I don't have much to say on the subject :)
My therapist has commented a lot -- mainly if I am dressed up or down. I think when I am dressed casually, he is concerned that I've been too depressed to go to work, which is not the case. Sometimes, if I have no meetings, I am just a slob! He's commented on my large eyes (all the better to watch what he's doing); he's asked, "What's different about you today? You look different? Is it your hair?" He went on for quite some time when I got a lot of sun one weekend since I am fair-skinned.
I never thought about it much because he's spends much of his time talking about my personality traits.
I'd like to ask this -- do you guys ever comment on how your therapist looks? I never have. I've wanted to comment on his very piercing eyes, but I am afraid that would sound inappropriate, and that's not what I mean at all. I just think they are symbolic of his very intense personality.
