Maybe because when you learn about boundries, it requires one to emulate to understand why the boundry has been made. Say you are a T, and lets say your caseload is say 40 people a week at 1 client per week. Now if you got emails from them when things got rough, and you read and responded to them, how much quality time would you have left to work with your caseload each week? I think journaling is a great way to cope. Or you could come here and get a whole bunch of feedback. Heck with this bunch of great people on here, why would you want to call your T?
