These aren't really boundaries; they're rules; you can't run at swimming pools, you can't talk loudly in the library, it's not possible to do therapy with a therapist except in person. If you don't take the rules personally, or compare yourself with others (other people make more money at their jobs than I do and I bet I work harder :-) it is a lot easier to concentrate on the actual therapy and relationship during the session and what one is working on with one's therapist.
A large part of therapy is the "tension" one week to the next, the thinking about and working with the material one has generated during the session. If the "steam" is let out in between, then the session doesn't work as well, it's like an old time train. If you want to keep chugging along, getting to where you want to get to, don't waste the energy the two of you are creating in session by dissipating it between sessions.
