Well, the nice thing is that there's no need to be confrontational at all. It's a deepening of intimacy in a relationship to nonconfrontationally share feelings. I'd probably say something like "I couldn't help noticing my card and letter in my file the other day. (managing an affectionate smile) I spent weeks getting that letter just right, in my attempt to tell you how helpful you've been to me, and how much I appreciate that. (slight frown - very slight, melancholy perhaps) I felt a bit hurt when you didn't mention it at all. Would you like to re-read it and maybe we can talk about it a bit?"
Well, because my therapist and I have known each other for a while, I might be a bit more teasing.
