It's so funny, because I gave a number of gifts to my former T. I think my relationship with her was so complex emotionally that I wanted to "give" her something to make up for all of the bad stuff I tended to give her (or, rather, maybe the way she made me feel about that bad stuff I gave her....?). With my current T, I don't even think of giving a gift at all. I may send her a generic card, but that's it. Plus, my current T has pretty clear boundaries and she is in control of them (totally opposite of my last T) so I'm not sure if she'd even accept a gift. It doesn't matter either way, though, b/c like I said I'm not feeling that way toward her. I guess this is what a "normal" T relationship should be like? lol
