Do you wish your T happy holidays ?

Like sending an sms wishing a merry christmas, or a happy new year... and things like that... ?

I wanted to send an sms, but they also have other clients and if everyone sends them messages they would be spammed and also their private time would be intruded upon... So I didn't.

No - I did not. The therapist has real people and I have real people to do that sort of thing with. There would be no reason for a therapist to need or want that sort of thing from me nor do I have any desire to do it.

I do that sort of thing in person usually at the end of the session while I'm leaving, before a holiday or something significant I want to acknowledge.

I might say it as I was leaving the session just before the holiday, but I wouldn't send them a text or email just to say that.

I wish my therapist happy holidays and bring him a gift on our last sessions before winter breaks. I usually don't send other texts / emails because I feel as if we already celebrated Christmas together.

Personally, given that my therapist is generally okay with outside of session contact, I wouldn't worry about sending a holiday wishes message if I felt like it - I'm sure not all his clients do that and they're not unmanageably many anyway, and personally I think good wishes are always welcome at special times like these. But it depends on your specific therapeutic relationship (as well as the therapist - I'm sure a therapist who never allows out of session contact or who has too many clients would not be so pleased).

I was actually thinking of wishing my therapist a happy new year via text this year but I'm not sure about it yet - not sure if I want to send any wishes this year. I'll live and see ...

Not by text or email. At the end of last session she wished me happy holidays and I wished her the same.

Only if I had seen him in person.

My therapist sent me a text wishing me a Merry Christmas, so I sent one back, wishing her the same

I had an appointment a few days before Christmas so I said something at the end of our appointment. Then the day before Christmas I got some test results which she wanted me to keep her update on so I sent her the results then and wished her a Merry Christmas. I wouldn't have emailed her if not for the test results though.

Sure did.

No, I don't generally do that.

We wished each other a Merry Christmas as I left my session a week or so ago.

After our session I did. She actually said it first.

She wished me a happy Christmas and I wished her the same.

t called me on christmas eve to say Merry Christmas and we talked a couple hours. we didnt get a chance to talk on Christmas Day but be did text each other.

My therapist doesn't celebrate Christmas, and I don't know much about her religion's holidays. So, no I don't.

Yes, when she is taking leave I always wish her a good holiday, break or whatever.

Yes I did.

i text my T on holidays. this yr i told him merry christmas, and i hope he has a good day. he said you too, merry christmas, and sent me a pic of one of his gifts which was the complete box set series of seinfeld

At the end of my session on Tuesday I wished her Happy Holidays.

Yes and he wishes me the same.

my therapist and I did say Merry Christmas to each other . then I talked to her again last Tuesday night cuz I requested for her to do the county voucher system for me cuz I can't trust Medicaid services w their transportation services cuz they messed up on the three appointments that I had with my therapist over summer this year. she told me Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and also happy healing cuz I had pinkeye and a corneal abrasion on my right eye .









Diagnosis: Anxiety and depression

Of course I did... and resisted the temptation to buy her a gift..

I know longer make it a special point like when I was still in therapy. Only if our paths cross.

She did email me at the end of Christmas Day, hoping it went well for me. I got sick before flying cross country, but was determined to fly to my FOO, no matter what. I responde the next day. Emailing is not something I like doing anymore. I hate to write.
