I already posted this on my profile, and a group forum. But as I really want answers to this, I'll post it here too.

Whether you have any experience of therapy or not, please comment. My therapy is ending, and I want to let my therapist know how thankful I am (I know she already knows, but still). I made a card-thingy that says "thank you for" and then some things I am thankful of. Not nearly all of them, but that would take a lot more than a card. I also made a little stuffed creature, a character I've been drawing over the years and she has seen many times in my diaries etc. The stuffed version is not that cute or perfect, but as we've been working on me being less demanding of myself, I thought I'd let it be as it is. Now do these things sound like a good gift to her?

And thanks to anyone who answers.

    I think that would be appropriate. Personal and not lavish. I'm sure the therapist will appreciate it.

    Sounds nice.

    I would have written in the card only, "Thanks for all the therapy." but that's just my weird sense of humour.

    I'm sure she'd love it. After knowing you for so long, she'll think the stuffed gift is absolutely perfect. Congratulations, hun! :drinker:

    When I ended my therapy I cried and shook his hand. I wish I had thought to go the route you are taking. Great job!

    Not really my choice that it'll end, but oh well. (State won't pay anymore and I don't have the money to pay for it myself, except for everyone now and then, monthly or so. Somehow we're considering this to be "the end" anyway.)

    Thanks everyone, for some reason I'm nervous about this and needed reassurance.

    Honestly, I was expecting to read something FAR more inappropriate / creepy. I don't think this sounds bad at all.

    What? Oh, eww, no. Haha. :laugh: I guess I could have thought about the title a little more.

    I think that's a wonderful idea. I wish I would have done that when my therapy ended..I wasn't ready for mine to end either, but I was at the end of the allowed visits.
