I agree. That would hurt a lot. But that is one of the lessons that we (patients) have to learn: to have boundaries. Imagine if all her patients wanted to get her smt for her birthday. The T then would have to accommodate everyone else’s nice gesture in some way and that would be exhausting for her.
Again, the main issue is with boundaries. The T is not a friend or a relative and the boundaries should be guarded accordingly. But, yes, I do agree, it is hurtful
