Thanks, Sally.
Yes!! Or it's both. Boundaries and limits definitely feel uncaring to me, though I KNOW that's not the case. Yes, when my T told me it's best to go back to my not emailing her, it felt bad. When she said she emailed me only because it was 3 weeks, it felt bad. Uncaring. Yes. It's not that I don't intellectually understand, you know. It's the emotional part of me that reacts. Probably those child parts who want there to be NO boundaries.
