I was very moved by your post. You sound so sensitive and sincere. Your T did such a lovely gesture, and I'm sure it triggered something in you about being able to be open and accepting of someone just wanting to give to you without expecting anything in return.
You said that you've written to her a lot. Do you ever read it aloud? That way you can take the paper with you so it won't be in your file. Perhaps that would be a good compromise for you. Do you think you perhaps hold back because you don't want to open up in a therapeutic relationship which you know has an end date? If so, maybe you could convey that to her, in writing if need be.
Hope you are feeling better soon, dear. (((SV)))
