If a therapist and a client do not have compatible boundary ideas - I suggest finding a new therapist rather than living in fear of the therapist. I, for example, will not use a therapist who has no contact in between appointments, one who will not speak first, one who expects payment for cancelled appointments even with reasonable notice, etc. Those are mine. If they give me theirs, I decide whether I think theirs are reasonable or not and if not, I go elsewhere if negotiation does not work.
