My T has given me several. The first was a carved stone otter. This was when I started to get deep.into my trauma and I had the dream about the otter . she said it was to rimd me of our connection. She also gave me a storybook called "StellaLuna" about a little fruit bat. When we were working on some tough stuff a bat came to her I'm a dream and helped her understand how to help me. After the dream "StellaLuna" became my nickname from her and then before she left on vacation once she gave me the actual book to read whenever I wanted. She gave me a note that is rolled up in a tiny silver capsule when I was going to be gone for a while.
And most recently she gave me Edgar the stuffed otter because of the changes to texting so I would feel loved.
Each of these things are terribly precious to me and they do help me to hold on to our connection...
