Hello....
It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I'd chime in with this thread since I started stressing about it months ago. :)
I do like to give my therapist a little something, and she always accepts it graciously. However, it's not like shopping for a friend or family member, so it's a challenge to keep it within the therapeutic boundaries. I try to find something small, and with some kind of meaning; it's usually hard, but sometimes the right thing will just jump out at me... like last year. Last year I found a pink heart plate (with snowflakes). Pink hearts are symbolic in a very personal way, so I baked cookies and gave them to her on that plate.
This year it looks like I will be giving her something very similar to something I gave her the year before; I feel a little silly, like maybe it looks like I didn't put much thought into it, but I really did... and I can't really come up with any other ideas.On another note, I noticed some of you give your T's cards... I have a question... I've never given my T a card at Christmastime because she is Jewish, and although I am not, I didn't know if it would be appropriate to give her a Christmas card, or a Hannukkah card. I tried to find just a "holiday" card, but all the ones I see, the wording just isn't good. I'll keep looking, but I may skip the card again. Still curious about your answers though!
