So... I made cookies for my T. Oatmeal chocolate chip. I was making them for an event I have to attend right after therapy, so I'll be carrying them with me and I figured it was only polite to make a few extra and give him some. They're not nearly as delicious as I want them to be to give them to him, it was a new recipe and in my opinion, while they taste ok, they're not fantastic.
So should I give them to him tomorrow? I think I'm going to. I'm just so nervous. And I have so much else to talk about and I don't want to spend a bunch of time talking about why and all that stuff and so if he asks I'm just saying it was because he's mentioned liking sweets before and I was making them anyway. What if he doesn't like them? The little girl part of me seriously has the urge to call him and have him comfort me that it's alright, it doesn't matter if he likes them, he'll appreciate the thought and the effort no matter what. (And I know what he'd say, he'd tease me really gently and of course want me to bring them...........i think, i hope). I feel really clingy tonight - today has been an emotional rollercoaster for a variety of reasons.
Someone please give me advice. Please.

I'm guessing that you've already decided. :)
I would have just said you know your therapist better than anyone else. And how seriously he would take the cookies. My therapist would probably mention a frequent bringing of cookies. But probably just accept graciously the occasional offer.

Well, I've sort of decided in that therapy is only a few hours away and what else am I going to do with the box of cookies I wrote his name on? :) But I'm awfully nervous.

I gave him the cookies. It was actually really easy. As I was getting the box out he was all excited and he said, "Cookies?! I looove cookies!" and he was all excited and he wanted to have one and he said they were delicious. And he didn't ask about it or anything, he just was excited and accepted them. And we had our session and he thanked me again at the end.
It was a really really hard session otherwise. I still feel emotionally knocked out - you know how crying a lot can kind of make you feel like you're getting sick the whole rest of the day. I've been having a really tough time lately and it was just telling him how overwhelmed I am with living on my own and wanting to be organized but not having the time and finals for graduate school already because it's summer classes. And he was really nice and supportive. And at the end when I had to go and was crying and just said, "Please, I don't want to be alone again," he asked what would help me with the alone feeling. And I couldn't talk and he suggested I call him once during the week and he'll call me back. So I'll do that. It's really tough because I also just had to go from twice a week to once a week. So that's been hard too.
As I told my T today, "I'm just sick of everything being scary and hard."

Yeah! I am so glad it was well received. I am so happy for you and I am wanting a cookie too.
