I've never really had a discussion about boundaries with my T, we've touched on a few things, and I've come to the conclusion that my own boundaries are more strict than my T's .

She does allow and even encourage between session contact by either email, phone, or text. I have never texted her, as it just feels too casual for me. I email her usually once or twice a week - usually to process a session. I rarely call...usually only emergencies. We've talked about between session contact, and she's said that she doesn't see it ever becoming a problem with me (in fact, she'd like me to contact her more!), but if it does, she's promised to tell me.

Hugs and touching...I told her right up front that I can't deal with that, so she's never offered. Of course, now I think I might kinda appreciate it, but I don't know how to ask or if she allows it.

The only boundary she made clear in my first session is that she will not initiate contact if we encounter each other out in public somewhere. She will acknowledge me if I initiate contact, though. It's never come up as an issue, since I've never seen her outside of a session.

My T does occassionally talk about her personal life, but it's very rare, and very limited. I know the basics about her...her age, she's married with a kid, has a dog, etc. She talked briefly about the last vacation she took. And, once or twice, she's used personal examples to help drive a point home, but that's about it.
