I gave T the gift and she seemed to like it. She didn't refuse it or say I shouldn't have given it to her so I think it's okay. She didn't make a big deal about it which made me feel more comfortable about giving it to her. She tucked it under her desk with her backpack and stuff and we went on to do my session. I did see her tonight too at a memorial service for our DBT group member that committed suicide. I kept thinking she would take me aside and tell me the gift was inappropriate but she never did. She was very nice to me, as she usually is. She said goodbye to me and said she would see me in group on Thursday.

I read that article by DocJohn. It was very interesting. It didn't occur to me to ask her if she accepts gifts before giving her one. I think I may ask her after the holidays though because I don't want her to feel uncomfortable in the future (or to make myself look ridiculous).

I also saw co-T tonight at the memorial service. She's always very friendly and caring. I'll give her the gift I got for her on Monday when I see her for individual therapy.

So overall, I feel like it went well. And I had a good session with T to top it off.
