Mine gave me a punching bag and has lent books to me. Oh, and she gave me some pictures--sort of. She gave them to me to look at during session and I took them home. I don't know if she meant for that to happen or not, but she didn't tell me to give them back at least. And I have a vague memory that she lent me some essential oil to try out.

He has lent me a book and I currently have a lend of a fiddle toy while he's away as a transitional object. Im really scared of losing it.
He also gave me a beautiful letter today. |

She gave me a token stone she had found to "celebrate" my divorce. We share a hobby and she said she had thought about making me something but didn't have time.

She gave me some coral from her trip to the Cayman Islands. She gave me a battery-powered votive candle. She gave me a lightbox. I think that's it.

She has given me small gifts over the years such as plants on a few occasions, flowers in a vase that she has picked from her yard, books and workbooks that I mentioned wanted wanting to read related to therapy, a bookmark, and a few years ago a couple of people gave her small gift cards to a local coffee/donut shop. She does not drink coffee or eat donuts so gave them to me to feed my coffee addiction. She also mailed me a card a couple of times.

She's offered me books to read that I've asked about on her shelves. There's a small picture in her room that I refer to.
She actually bought me a copy of it once. Plus she's always sent a photo of something or other during breaks. |

She gave me a small token to carry with me. And lent me a few CDs with meditations.

She gave me a small stone with "hope" printed on it.
I've borrowed books and cds from her but I don't consider them gifts. Except for the one that had her doing guided meditations on it, I did keep that one.

I would never accept any sort of gift from a therapist. Who knows what they are expecting it to mean. Boundaries.

My therapist and I enjoy birthdays so we give each other many birthday presents and some Christmas presents. We think its fun to watch each other open all of them.

No, not really. I ask her to write me a note when she's going away. Sometimes she writes it on a card that's blank inside.

Yeah. Nothing major though. A few magazine articles here and there, a brochure/pamphlet thing from one of the local colleges 'cause we talked about courses. I think something else, but can't remember what.

T lent me a book once and I was also worried I would ruin it. Thought for sure I'd spill pop or food on it. Lol. I didn't. I have the same worries about anything I borrow from anyone so the worry wasn't related to t.

My T gave me a stone and a stuffed animal. I asked for a transitional object, so it's not really a gift.

Mine has given me a funny joke paper bag of her own volition. Very apt for my workplace and job. She says sometimes she gives clients small gifts if she happens to obtain something which just fits.
She's also given me a card where she wrote down therapeutic reminders. And I've a note from her as a transitional object. |
