"She's made me feel totally accepted, and she's a wonderful therapist."

So are my professionals. No question here about compassionate people.

My responses as to gifts are based on what I know about training for psychiatrists and psychologists. Both of mine say they were trained to not wear wedding rings, not display photographs, have no physical contact with patients, no gifts, no revelation of sexual preference, etc. etc.

I even screwed up my courage the other day to ask my T. how old he was (though after four years, I have my ideas), and I said for him not to answer if it's a boundary. It is a boundary and he wouldn't answer. I respect him for that. In fact, I probably feel more respect and affection for him because the boundaries are so tight...if they were muddled, more parent/child, or if things were on a more personal level, I don't think therapy would be nearly as effective for me.

My post wasn't hurtful, empirically, it merely stated my opinions.
