That's honestly beautiful. That is what I wanted from my T. I can see that working out. I guess it was just harder to see the boundaries thing with my T, since she is young and just starting out in the field. As she is just in the middle of her doctoral programs, I know I am one of her first ever clients. I know this, because I read the requirements for her residence at my school. This makes me feel like I would be the patient that would have that one lasting impact...

There were always limits in place, particularly during the period that I was connecting to a new therapist. I still email back and forth a few times a year one T that I stopped working with 4 years ago and I don't foresee this changing. My current T and I have talked about contact and she has made clear that she will correspond with me by email when we finish working together. She also trusts me to be able to monitor how much I email--we both have no doubt about this, particularly given my recent growth. She is good with the relationship that I have with the former T I mentioned and she says that our post-therapy relationship will resemble this one.
