I know that her encouragement and dedication has kept me working and striving to be a better, happier, healthier, self-actualized person. But now I also know, really know, she has limits.

T and I talk about this sometimes. He says this is what feels really unfair about therapy - not for him, but for the client. Whenever it comes up, I just want to put my fingers in my ears and yell "LALALALALA" so I can't hear him, but I sit through it and we talk about it.
I am BEYOND grateful for the boundaries...I've had "therapeutic" relationships without boundaries in the past, and don't ever want to go there again...AND I just hate the boundaries sometimes too. It feels so weird to not be able to call when he's sick and say "are you okay?" or whatever. It's just the weirdest relationship ever. One of the most important AND the weirdest.
I hope today is better, MAWL. I'm glad you have a trip planned, and already have connected at least a little bit with another T
