So, to start off with, I live in a group home/CR/whatever you like to call it. And I am FINALLY graduating to the next level which is they give you your own apartment with a roommate. YAY! Well I am very close to all the staff so I asked for pictures of them and am taking them so when I move out, and eventually move down state, hours away, I can take them with me.
So I am thinking about asking my T for a picture, since she is a big part of my life, I'm kind of iffy about it, how she'll respond. |

I would ask. She can always say no, and would hopefully do so gently and with a good reason. I have a photo of my first, favorite therapist and it's been a lovely momento of an important person and period in my life.

Its nice to hear from you and all that you have accomplished. Are you getting a new t downstate? I hope you get the pic. My former therapists said it was against thier boundaries.

No, I'm nearly finished with therapy as is, so by the time I'm down there I won't need it, cause I'll be out of therapy. And thanks sweeps!
I'm nervous she'll say no, hopefully her bpoundaries arent that strict |

You are always allowed to ask.
Madame T let me take a photo. That was good of her as she is obviously very camera shy.

You can just google her and find a picture of her online. She might even have a bio with a pic on psychologytoday.com

I hope she gives it to you. Old school style with writing on the back and all. Maybe that's hoping for a bit much but a girl can dream.

There is no problem in asking. She can say no, but if she does she can explain why. She might also say yes. If you don't ask, then the answer is automatically no because you don't give her the chance to say yes. Don't let fear of getting the answer you don't want result in getting the answer you don't want by default.

I do not see asking anything in general as a boundary thing. Not respecting a response is where I would see it.

Ask. Who cares about boundaries. You have nothing to lose.

I agree with everyone, just ask. It cant hurt. I have tons of pictures and videos of t and me together, it helps especially since she is so far away.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
