What should I get my 50 year old male therapist?

You shouldn’t? Gift exchange with therapists is extremely difficult. I get my therapist a card sometimes. But really they can’t accept anything of monetary value, and it really is awkward having to refuse a gift. I know, you want to show your appreciation, so just give them a card and write how much you appreciate them, or something like that. Buying a gift just puts therapists in a weird position.

They can’t accept necklaces or dinner…

oh. idk that.

ethics and all that, it’s complicated…

How bout a coffee cup with #1 therapist on it

what are ethics?

simply put it’s what dictates right from wrong.

whats right and wrong?

I’m with Ty - you shouldn’t get your therapist anything - that just crosses the line between patient and therapist and makes the relationship personal, which is a huge no-no

ahaahaha thats an awsommemeee idea

You want to learn ethics in therapy take a class. Or I can recommend the book we used. I’m not going to explain what took several years to learn in one paragraph.

I agree with this. Although your thoughts are kind and generous thinking on a gift, your therapist most likely won’t be able to accept anything that you get for him. It crosses the patient-helper line, unfortunately. Expressing your thanks verbally or in a card may be a lot better.

a gift card to the mall or his favorite place would be an excellent gift.
