I still have a tendency to take things personally; I have to watch that. She probably just had back to back clients (she doesn't work with people who would need hospitalization). What I want her to know is that no matter where her boundaries are, I am not trying to overstep her boundaries. That is what I am trying to do in life in general.

My H feels that I work best with a T who does have flexible boundaries because I tend to buck hard-and-fast ones. Maybe T realizes that and that's why she's flexible with me. She once told me she is very clinical with some clients, she can do either.

She's definitely carved a niche in her practice which must be nice (no DD, severe SA, or serious MI); she mostly works with females age 14 and up, couples, and I've seen a couple of men. She deals mainly with depression, anxiety, OCD, complicated grief, relationship issues, women's issues, anger management, divorce, domestic abuse, and trauma.
