Is there a way for my therapist to set the limits and I see if everyone agrees to them?
I guess what I am asking is, Is it better for my t to set the limits in session or is it more important for me to set the limits? I am not sure if this makes sense but if you have a response please write.

lol (laughing at the topic and how it fits me not at you)
with me there was me and then there was each alter doing what ever they were created to do, what ever their purpose/job/reason for being was.
there was no one setting limits, no one telling each other what can and cant happen.
yes some peoples internal systems are such that can accept/work on the level of having limits/ setting limits and accepting therapists limits/boundaries.
here where I live and work all treatment providers have their limits/rules/expectations
example some mental health agencies/therapists have rules/boundaries/ limits on how and whether touching/hugging/hand holding happens in their sessions. some say you need to be on time or call when you are either going to be late or not coming in, some dont allow comfort foods, comfort toys/blankies....
each treatment provider and agency here where I live and work is different, most usually go according to each clients needs/wants/goals/ reason for being in treatment. some need more structure and others need more flexibility and others are somewhere in between.
