What a wonderful thing for him to do! Simply awesome.
My therapist has given me little gifts before like that and it has meant sooooo much to me.
I got really into Freud (not Freudian therapy, but the biography of the man himself - he was actually quite fascinating) at one phase during my therapy. It was a very bad phase in therapy for me and right smack dab in the middle of it, my T left to go to Europe for a month. Well he went to the Freud museum and brought me back a bunch of stuff.
It was nice because it meant he was thinking of me even on vacation. He, too was very excited to give it to me.
I also find it amazing how they are able to reach that very young, very hurt place in us without it being abrasive. It's very healing.
My T uses the word "tender" a lot.
I'm so happy for you dinah.
Big hug for you and a big safe cyber pat on the back for your T for being such a good good guy.
Seldom.
