Giving a gift, whether it's flowers or a card, is a universal way to express gratitude and appreciation. Appropriate gifts in therapy are ethical and enhance authentic therapeutic relationships. When a therapist rejects a clients gift it's perceived as personal rejection and an insult, possibly harming the therapeutic relationship.
I'm sorry your therapist rejected your very kind and thoughtful gift.
