Hi

I bring my therapist gifts also. He is addicted to chocolate so every week I bring him a bag of m&ms. If I see something that has meaning and I think he would appreciate it I bring it to him. I have also given him books. There have been times when he is deeply touched with what I have brought for him. Except for the chocolate I don't bring him things very often. Nothing I give him has great monetary value, but there always must be meaning behind it. So it is fun to look for things that we can discuss that have to do with progress made.

I guess every therapist is different and how they interpert the APA or ACA code of ethics. Have you ever asked your therapist about giving gifts?
