Moosetracks- That is not what I was referring to as strict boundaries (calling outside of a sesison, emails etc), I was referring to another experience with another therapist that I had. I do see though that is the definition of strict boundaries as you understand it.

When I first came to PC I found that I could understand other people, their posts and the background to their issues by speaking more from my own personal experience. I didnt really know enough about their experiences or that of other posters for me to comment, make assumptions or come to conclusions about them or their therapists. At lease until I was around for a while to get to know their stories.

Personally, I dont see a problem with finding a T who has boundaries that I am comfortable with and not seeing a T with boundaries I am not comfortable with.
