Good job!
It’s almost a trope to hear “you’re doing so well” during a session. If you haven’t been on the receiving end of this - it feels surprisingly nice to hear this and not be expected to respond.

All these sounds can remind us that everything is fine, and the world will continue on for this moment as you enjoy your session.
We’re on the same team…
If you’re taking a more collaborative approach, we can use…
And you’re doing so well. We can see all these changes and sensations that your powerful mind can create, as we work together to create that sensation of warmth.
