In May I will graduate from grad school and most likely move back to my home state after moving away for two years to go to school. I've been seeing my T weekly for all but the first three months after I moved here (18 months so far).
I'm definitely going to give her a card when I leave thanking her for everything because I know there is no way I'll be able to get it out in words. But I'm wondering if it would be weird if I gave her a graduation photo of me (classic cap and gown photo) with the card? If this is weird, just tell me. I guess I'm not sure what I would expect her to do with it but since she has helped me so much during this time of my life, I feel like it would make sense. But please tell me if this is not a good idea, I don't want to overstep or make her feel weird/uncomfortable. |

If I were your therapist I would love this gift.

I don't think it would be weird, uncomfortable, or inappropriate at all.

It sounds like a sweet idea.

I think it would be a good gift. Don't worry about what she'll do with it.
I gave my ex-T a Christmas card with pictures of my dogs on it. She loved it. Don't know what she did with it, but that's not the point. The point is she accepted it. And for you, the point is she was there for you up until graduation.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I think I'm going to do that. The problem right now is I don't know when/if I'll actually be moving so it is hard to plan for. She also tentatively offered a phone session or two after I move so I don't know when a good time to give her the card will be.
I'm already dreading saying goodbye. It makes me emotional thinking about it now. |

I think it would be wonderful.
Maybe just giving it to her right after you graduate? That way it's timely and then the card at the end. Just an idea.

I think that's a great idea!
Maybe you could write her a nice note and enclose the photo? |
