I think his proclamation of good boundaries is at odds with his behavior. I think a T with good boundaries would have restrained his urge to hug you on your first visit, but maybe it's just me. I never hug a T on our first date. I always save myself for transference.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
Thanks for this!
