My T encourages both negative and positive feedback.
He told me once quite a while ago that one thing as a therapist that you just have to accept is that you get very little feedback. You can work with a client, but really not know if it's helpful or not.
If I recall, this was mentioned after I called a halt to something we were working on. He thanked me for being honest.
Since then, the times we bang heads the most is when there's been a lack of communication. I've held back from sharing my real opinion. I think it's important to let them know when something they did or said was very helpful or supportive but also when it isn't. If they don't know, how can they adjust their approach with us?
