This is one of the few areas where the one I see does not screw up. She has only contacted me for appointment changes. Just last week she said she had "excellent boundaries and will not show up on your doorstep." I had a sense of panic because I had never thought she would show up on my doorstep and the idea, even in the negative, was (and obviously still is since it is about the only thing she said that I remember) unsettling.
I (and I know I am not in the majority here) like it that I do not have to concern myself that it is the therapist when the phone rings (although I have specific ring tone for her and she only has one of my numbers etc), that when I leave the woman's office - I am done with her and she with me - unless I go back.
So all of that was to say I understand and believe the client should be able to expect the therapist will not breach boundaries either.
Thanks for this!
