Yup, mine too. I told my T right off the bat that I have a very large personal space and I don't enjoy being touched by others. She's always been very careful to give me plenty of space and not touch me. That's really my biggest boundary - space and physical contact.
We always go at my speed in sessions...she's pushed me a little at times, but if I say that I'm not ready to talk about something, or I need to change the subject, my T always respects that. We may come back to it later, but right then, she lets me move on.
Really, any boundary that I've verbalized to my T has been totally respected. I know she's not a mind reader, and I don't expect her to be, so I have to tell her what I need. That can be really hard at times, but I'm learning!
