I am actually a little surprised at the amount of negativity to this post. I don't have any strong opinion on the notion of acknowledging Valentine's Day in one's therapy with some sort of token, but I tend to think that making gestures in therapy or saying things that one feels inclined to do can be useful. It can be part of just showing up and bringing your whole self into therapy, which for some people is a good idea. You talk about it and see why you feel that way or what it means. If you have a trusting relationship with your therapist, exploring these things is likely to be more useful than not.

But then I don't ascribe a lot of meaning to Valentine's Day, so maybe I'm missing something. I just think of it as a silly day that some people like to mark with little tokens for people they love or their friends or whatever.
