I brought a gift to my therapist , just after Christmas once and said , I know as a therapist you aren't supposed to accept gifts from clients , but .... and I offered him a small package of fudge made by the monks at the abbey I had visited . He said , "that's right , we cannot accept gifts ....the ethics of ..... he was offended , buy took the package and when our session was over made it clear that he was taking my gift to the community kitchen he shared with his colleagues .....

I wish I had a friend who was a therapist I could talk this over with . ...( is this about Freud and the **** phase ? )
