Thanks, Una. I was just as confused!

Thanks for the hugs, Couch. I didn't quite know where to put that, and you all are right here. You are all the best.
I was minding my own dang business reading today (Burnout, Nagoski and Nagoski), read "You may not have been aware of how bad it was, but your body was," and had a mini panic attack complete with flashback. Been a long time, but at least that's sorted, why all that was so trigger-y. Things that are good today: Took a nap. I have been exhausted, and at least now I understand why. Sunflowers Fresh figs from my fig trees Cheese for dinner (and figs) Muffiny purry kitten is sitting next to me purring and being a muffin cat Watching Olympic skateboarding. Those guys know how to fall. OH! A long time ago I talked on the Couch about wanting another tattoo. I got it a couple days ago. When the wrap comes off I'll (briefly) post a pic. __________________ Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by accidents of time, or place, or circumstance, are brought into closer connection with you.

I wish I had put a lot more thought into giving my therapist that gift. I should have been more careful and clear about the symbolism and feelings behind it. I think he felt like he was being cornered or tested. His exact words were he felt like he was being given a Rorschach test. I wish I hadn't done it now or at least had written a very thorough letter to go with it. It sucks that I put so much meaning into this gift and now it's turned into something else. I'm feeling pretty down about this.

I think there's a time to stop being a therapist and be a human. Graciously and fully allowing oneself to accept a gift that's meaningful to the giver seems like one of those times.
Hugs, NP. It was a beautiful gift and so was your meaning. __________________ Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by accidents of time, or place, or circumstance, are brought into closer connection with you. (St. Augustine) |

He's told me at least twice that he can't imagine getting a more meaningful gift from a client. I don't know why I can't take that at face value and be content with that. The day I gave it to him I just couldn't get any sort of read on him. I guess I was hoping he'd feel some sort of warm feeling receiving it, and it's wrong of me to expect some sort of emotional response when giving a gift. I've really effed this whole thing up.

P.S. Therapy relies on (1) the professionalism of the T and (2) the intimacy of the relationship. Some of us (but certainly not all) would prefer that Ts put the relationship first.

 It's really not your fault NP. The heart was a lovely gift. I wish he had handled it better. If you did write an extra letter what would you have said?
