My T has never told me any specific boundaries that she has.
My first T told me straight up if she ever saw me in public she wouldn't talk to me and that the only contact between sessions was for scheduling and if I had a problem to call the crisis line. Throughout our two years together she did open up about some things she dealt with that I was also struggling with. I never felt comfortable with her though.
The only thing my current T ever said that stuck with me is that she will refer me to someone else if she feels like she cannot help me. Other than that, she seems more like a real person to me. We usually begin our session with a little chit chat catch up type conversation. She knows it helps calm my anxiety. She has given me a couple of hugs and loans me books that she thinks I might like.
