Are you going to give your t christmas gift? What gift?
Just interesting to know
I have never given any of ts christmas gift but I would like to do it and I have idea what it would be. Im just scared little bit about it, feel lil bit stupid etc.

[RedSun]

Maybe something homemade? A tree decoration?

[stopdog]

No. First I just wouldn't. Second the woman does not celebrate it.

[RTerroni]

Not with my current Therapist since I only see her once a month. If I was still seeing the person I saw before her I may have given her something.

I already gave my t a little present. A lady on the bus had a small bottle of hand sanitizer encased in a plastic thing with a loop on it so you could hang it off your backpack - i thought it was the greatest idea! Then i saw it at the drugstore and i bought one for me and t. He said hes not really a hand sanitizer type guy but i figured he could pass it on to his wife or daughter.

[Ellahmae]

Yes. I am. Just a little something that isn't personal but something I know she would enjoy ��

[junkDNA]

i dunno. maybe

[NowhereUSA]

No. I gave him a birthday present a couple weeks ago because it was a big one but outside of that, I don't get him gifts and I was clear I was only giving it to him because I'd been giving him a hard time about his age

[gayleggg]

No, I won't get him anything. I don't think our relationship is to a place for that, yet. Maybe someday.

I think I will get her some chocolates or a candle. I have been thinking a lot about it and I used to get my old t a present every Christmas and would feel weird not to get this t one.

I think I'm going to just give mine a card for the main purpose of thanking her for all she's done. She doesn't like it when I say I appreciate her because she feels that I do all the work. However, I think there are things she doesn't realize: like going over on time sometimes, being patient with me, putting up with me acting like a teenager, being firm when I needed it, etc. But, I'm having a hard time thinking of what exactly I would say. I'm hoping to find a card that says some of it. I did buy her something but will probably randomly give it to her at some other point. She borrowed something of mine that is a gag gift so I bought one for her to have as her own. She'll laugh.

[JustShakey]

I sort of want to and I sort of don't. Christmas will probably be come and gone before I make up my mind though so probably no.

[ScarletPimpernel]

Nope. Never will. Only thing I do is send her via email a picture of the Christmas cards we send out (it's our dogs dressed up). She likes seeing pictures of dogs. But it's not a gift.

Gave my T her gift today. She's Jewish and Chankah is next week. I gave her a book I created. For example, has a page for your understanding and then gave an example. A page for your forgiving and then gave an example etc. it took me about 2 weeks to create. I thought it looked good. Now I created it, I feel stupid. Plus she was in a bad mood today. She was lecturing me about my negativity. At one point she said look at me as I was looking down. I felt like a child!!

[sidney1771]

I made a origami mobile for T to hang in her playroom where she works with kids. Sometimes if I'm early I'll play with the Lego's or other toys. I'm 40 and still prefer playing with toys as opposed to reading age appropriate magazines. She usually gets me some kind of cool toy for Christmas as well. When she buys geeky gifts for her kids, I'm usually on the list. Yea!

[brokenwarrior]

Nah. I don't feel the need to. I will wish her a Merry Christmas though

[musinglizzy]

My T shows really no boundaries with me.....but has told me in general, she doesn't not accept gifts. She has taken gifts from me, nothing that cost me any money... but I'm not going to put her in the position to accept it. But, she's Jewish...so it wouldn't be a Christmas gift anyway.

[gloamingone]

Maybe a Christmas card?

i think that is a really thoughtful gift (the book).

No, I only ever gave her a gift once (well twice if you count the poem I wrote for her.) I gave her a crocheted bowl I made for her at our last in-person appointment. I will likely just send a happy holidays email like I did last year.

I sorta felt like I gave her a gift today, sharing some realizations I had this past week, she was going "Yes! Yes!"

[JaneC]

Ugh. I asked my therapist last week if he would accept a gift if I made him something..........what ensued was THE MOST AWKWARD 'discussion' EVER! He was clearly uncomfortable and really didn't know how to say what he wanted to say.

I came away feeling really stupid! So I mentioned it again this week, about him being all awkward, and me, and he said that he was uncomfortable.....but not for the reasons I probably thought. He said that he felt uncomfortable because he would not be able to reciprocate, even wanting to he "knows it is probably not a good idea".

What does that even mean? I must ask! I made a joke out of how awkward we both were and we both laughed.

I'm still going to give him something that I've made. Still deciding exactly what. I imagine it'll be really awkward, but I really want to for some reason. (I may chicken out!)

[BonnieJean]

My t is Jewish but her b'day is next week. I made her a book mark from flowers I pressed over the summer. Will give it to her Monday.

No, I only gave a present once some years back. It isn't something I feel moved to do every year. I haven't seen him in a few months anyway.

[Bill3]

No.
