My therapist unprompted said my toes were cute? Is that normal? Context is I unravel my socks when I’m anxious and I did it in therapy so my toes were visible

Is your therapist an older woman and are you young? I could see a mom or grandmother type saying that without thinking while trying to make you feel less awkward

I’m very bad at assessing ages so I’m not sure how old she is but I think you might be on to something since she is a woman who sees kids through young adults. She hasn’t said anything else weird in the ~7 months I’ve been seeing her so you might be right. That makes me feel a lot better, thanks!

yes my guess is she probably meant it in a non-freaky way lol !!! i wouldn't sweat it at the moment, just file it away for later in the event anything weird happens later on but u should be fine for now. i had a similar thing at 16, i was seeing a new doc and went in alone with parent approval and he was telling me i'm "so mature for my age" but seemed to really mean it in terms of responsibility and not freakiness so it may just be something like that where it comes out sounding weird lol

i wouldn't say to ignore it completely (obviously) but if u have no reason to worry atm u shouldn't stress about it!! also i realized i should give context on my personal tidbit: the doctor i saw who said that was a visiting doc from a diff hospital and did not speak english as a first language so the idea was filtered through a communication barrier; if you consider other contextual elements it might be something like that too!!!
