It's not that it's a "thing"; it's more because my T and I share a love of art. I suppose I could ask her for photos of some of her artwork.

I guess the bottom line is that my distorted thinking is: "T, if you really, really care about me, and I'm not just your job, you would do this for me because it would mean so very much to me."

I don't want something from her office: she's given me little things. I want her ARTWORK because it's HER passion, and she's helping me find mine. Maybe that's illogical. Maybe I'm in the clouds again. Maybe asking and getting a no will get me to finally cry in therapy. I don't know but asking her is very important.
