"It's not your fault."
"You're a bright, talented girl."
Regarding my volatile personality and the fact I walk out of sessions when overwhelmed and in distress, and sometimes don't return for months at a time, my old psych turned into around into humour about it, and it made me giggle, she said something like "Don't fire me!" which is amusing to me!
As well as the above, I have problems with communication and she praised me when I was opening up more and using words verbally, praise helps me a lot.
I can't think of much that I guess are similar to the ones here, but these are the ones that have made me smile and tried to lighten things - which helps, as sometimes, humour for me does help, as well as validating and being compassionate/understanding my past, my problems and how I feel helps, too.
