On the topic of boundaries, I'm a huge boundary person. I like to know where the lines are and stay well away from them. My therapist purposely doesn't spell out the boundaries because he wants me to depend more (like calling/emailing). I still try to keep within what I think are reasonable boundaries and T has never complained....but I find it hard not knowing for sure what the boundaries are.

The last thing I want to do is to cross a line and then deal with the aftermath which would be embarrassing and very shaming.
