I have therapy in a couple hours and I'll be giving the gift to T. Today I feel a little bit more nervous about it but I'm going through with it.

It did take me a while to figure out what I think T would like, but she made it so easy because she shares her life with me in individual therapy and us in DBT group. I know she appreciates music and especially likes hand held percussion instruments.

I do know how you feel though. With my former T he never really shared about himself so usually I would just get him a box of chocolates and nuts from a treasured candy store. He always seemed to like it but it always felt to impersonal to me. And there was definitely the risk of him not accepting it.

But today I'm going to be positive no matter how it all turns out (at least that's what I'm telling myself).
