I gave him two very small gifts (last time was a small river rock) and cards on anniversaries. But I'd checked out his policies on gifts long before I ever ventured to give him one myself. I love hypotheticals.
My therapist is of the group that accepts small gifts unless he thinks it's a problem for the client.
I really don't feel all that joyous doing it, to tell the truth. I work it well out in advance, in terms of symbolism. But it always seems like such a huge risk to me. We have absolutely nothing in common.
Has your therapist mentioned his gift policy?
