Hi everyone,

Just a general question. Did you expect (and receive) New Years wishes from your T?

Through email? In person in the next session? Through text? Not at all?... Or still waiting, like me. Lol 😁

I had an e-mail exchange with my T because she had to reschedule my appointment. She wished me Happy New Year's in the closing of the e-mail. (She wouldn't have sent me a separate e-mail or text with it though, I'm pretty sure). And H and I had a session with our marriage counselor yesterday, and he wished us Happy New Year as we were starting the session.

Not in therapy right now, but when I was, I don't think we particularly acknowledged New Years beyond saying "Happy New Year" when we saw each other.

Yes, but I know him enough to know he wouldn't text me on New Year's eve. He might have if I had texted first but I'd already given him a card with my wishes for him on the last session of the year and I don't think he needed more. He wished me happy holidays and told me I can call him if I have an emergency and asked about strategies of dealing with my toxic family even though I didn't bring it up. I take that as his holiday wishes and caring about me.

Last year I gave him a Christmas card and forgot new year wishes and sent him a text on new year's eve. He did get back to me right away to say thanks and send some good wishes of his own for me.

No and No. It would creep me out to have the therapist contact me out of the blue just to say happy new year.

we didnt really acknowledge it because i hate holidays. he sent me a text on christmas morning saying merry christmas and he hopes i have a good day

Funny enough. T just sent her normal email /photo that she senna during a break, and wished me a happy new year.

My T signed an email "Happy new years and see you in 2017". Last year, we didn't acknowledge the holidays, but this year she acknowledged both Christmas and new years!

My T recognized it and wished me well. I did likewise.

T texted me, because she was out on holidays, but at Christmas, she called.

I had an appointment on Monday. So as I was leaving she wish me a happy New Year.

My last session was actually the morning of New Year's Eve. No, I did not expect New Year's wishes from my T and I didn't receive them from her. I did not even think to wish her a happy new year either. I don't think either of us thought much about it. Regardless, it was a good session and we both left with positive feelings for each other.

My T always does the happy new year thing and I hate it. If we email around that time to make an appointment or whatever, she always says it and then the first time I see her in the New Year as soon as she opens the door she says "happy new year" which is what happened last session. I hate it and never wish anyone happy new year so I don't say it back. Weirdly though during last session, T admitted that she doesn't particularly like new year, doesn't want to be merry or stay up till midnight! So I was thinking, why would you say happy new year then??
