I took your advice and asked T. I didn't want my gifts to be rejected the day we terminate. She said I can give her all the gifts! I didn't tell her what they were, just how many. She said that so long as I can carry them in one trip up to her office and she can carry them down, I can give her as many gifts as I want. But...she did say 9 should be enough She also said that so long as I don't spend hundreds of dollars, I'm good. Oh yeah, I made a joke that I was going to gift her my puppy. She said no live animals, but plants would be okay.

I told her the forums thought that it was too many gifts. She said not all therapists are evil.
