My T & I are terminating for good next week and I want to ask her if she could give me some sort of transitional object like a worry stone or a key ring; just something I can keep with me. She gave me a scarf when we finished for the summer but I can't keep that with me all the time (I didn't ask for it).
Is it unreasonable to ask my T to do this for me?
As a side note - we have a great relationship and have been working together for a year. We've had our ups and downs but got through them.

No. I don't think it's unreasonable. You could ask for a stone if she keeps them around? My T has a collection of stones if people need them.

She has nothing like that in her office which is why I'm a bit dubious to ask, I wouldn't expect her to go and buy one especially for me. I would really like a worry stone...hopefully I can ask her for that.

my T gave me a stuffed animal. i dont think it hurts to ask

It doesn't hurt to ask. My T will be giving me a transitional object and an encouraging letter when we terminate. I also might get both from my Pdoc if my T approves. And since she already gave you a scarf, I think she would say yes.

I think that is a reasonable request.
