My T said at maybe my second appointment, "I have very good boundaries". Something about that soothed me (probably because I had such bad experiences with bad/no boundaries) and to this day, I sometimes think of him saying that sentence and feel safe.

When I briefly saw another T for meditation instruction, she wanted to speak with T before we started working together. I asked what he told her, and he said that all he said was "Boundaries are very important to Tree, and SHE gets to set the boundaries".

I love how T keeps me safe.
