I thought of this because of another thread - but in that thread the issue was a seemingly inconsistent policy.
I'm wondering what people's experiences are with (physical, tangible) gifts between therapists and clients.
I remember once (a couple decades ago) when terminating I wanted to give a modest gift (a book) to the therapist, in appreciation. He refused it and I was hurt that I couldn't express my appreciation. It felt wrong.
On the other hand, the therapist that did exchange (small) gifts with me - it felt very therapeutic, although I'm not positive. It was part of a package of fuzzy boundaries. But I'm not sure the gifts were the problem. They weren't remarkably personal.
What are people's experiences.
