We have discussed boundaries as I have brought them up. About the only boundary she told me upfront was about seeing each other out in public and that she would not approach me first. If I acknowleged her, she would acknowledge me.
Emails are fine and encouraged since they work for me. She will answer them as I need her to. Most everyone she has sent a reply. If I need more clarification, she will elaborate more.
She is not that much into phone calls unless they are crisis calls, or if I need to cancel an appointment. I have only called her twice in 17 months. I normally text her first and ask her if it is a good time to call.
As far as time goes, I normally stay 90 minutes. Some of her clients only stay 60 minutes. She basically said that it depends on the client. Some are ready to go in an hour. She said that I need more time to process, so she gives that to me. No extra charge. The same fee whether I stay 60 minutes or 2 hours.
No touching at all until it is our last session. What's the point then?
I know alot about her personal life, her family, kids, etc...She has no problem talking with me about things unless I am using it to deflect from focusing on myself.
