Parting Gift for Therapist?

I'll be terminating therapy in January after 2.5 years. I know gifts are "controversial" during therapy (in that some therapists may not be allowed to accept more expensive gifts), but I suppose it's OK if you're never going to see the therapist again. Any therapists or (ex)-clients willing to share some ideas for appropriate gifts? I did psychodynamic therapy, so I know very little about the therapist personally. TIA.

• A card would be appropriate and appreciated.

• I plan to give my therapist a great fuck once I'm about to finish my therapy.

• Plant for the office. Basket of cookies. Nice bottle of scotch or wine if you know that they drink. Nothing too terribly expenive or overly personal. And yes, a card or note expressing your appreciation as R1 suggested.

• Anything beyond a note would be too much.

• How about a fruit/nut/cheese kind of gift box. It's almost xmas so plenty available, impersonal, useful and slips in under the guise of a holiday gift

• Jeff Stryker Dildo.

• Just a hand-written note saying "Thanks for nothing."

• That would be the fantasy, R7. Are you a mind reader, perchance?

  OP

• A lapdance and then share a cigarette.

• A shit on the therapeutic couch and a card with the greeting "thank you, I let it go".

• If you got nothing out of therapy, OP, why give a gift? Don't give anything. Or give a card. Most will turn down gifts and that would be awkward.

• You give nothing beyond a note or a card to the therapist. That is completely inappropriate.

• You don't give parting gifts to therapists. They're not game show contestants. Do you give gifts when your insurance changes and you have to pick a new doc?

• Aren't you paying for the therapy? If so, why give a gift to someone for doing their job.

• I agree with card only. The therapist is not a friend, he/she is a person you hired to accomplish a goal. A gift is completely inappropriate.

• Leave a dead rabbit on their front porch.

• [quote]Just a hand-written note saying "Thanks for nothing." I've been in and out of therapy for the last 25 years. While I've never actually handed a therapist a note explicitly stating "thanks for nothing", I always make sure the gist of that message gets across to them when therapy comes to an end.

• They should give YOU a present your patronage. But then I suppose people in need of therapy are easy to maipulate.

• R17, when are you going to get the hint?

• I was waiting for someone like you to come along and give me one, r19.

• I'm sure your termination is the biggest gift the therapist could ask for.

• When I was a kid they always gave Rice A Roni as a parting gift on game shows.

• [quote] I think the OP is a masochist. Nah. Just a troll

• Send him/her your ear in a box with a note written in blood stating "Thanks for all the help."
