I agree with Liam. Your T has crossed boundaries with you and that helped make you dependent. I don't know what her intention was and that's puzzling. I'll be honest and say that it's hard to believe some of the things that you say she did for you. But whether she did them or not, you've become confused about what is appropriate for a T to do. It's not your fault! You don't want to change Ts and I can understand that!

Now that she's realized her mistake, she's changing the boundaries. It hurts ME to see how you've been hurt by the way she's treating you now. I hope that you can have an honest discussion with her about that. I don't know what else to say. i do have a question. Do you know what her therapeutic orientation is? Do you know if it's her belief that it helps to have a dual relationship with clients? I'm angry with your T! She seems totally unprofessional. I'd rather believe that you exaggerated the truth rather than believe a T could be so unethical.

I'm sorry to say all this but I feel you're suffering because of your T, not because you did anything wrong.
Thanks for this!
