That need has lessened, I can keep T inside me better.
I'm not sure T giving me an object from her choosing would have had any significant attachment for me. Our unconscious picks it's own objects.

My current t hasn't given me anything, but I feel very attached to the throw blanket he has in his office and he has joked about giving it to me when I am done with therapy. We have a routine where, when we are finished, he takes the blanket from me and folds it up, then helps me up and hugs me. I think the important thing, is that I chose the blanket. I've had previous therapists offer rocks or other things, but they've never been as meaningful to me.
