Probably those child parts who want there to be NO boundaries.

No no, I don't doubt that you get this intellectually. If our hearts all followed our brains we'd all be in better shape then we're in, I think.
I'm just thinking that while many of us, including you, can point to examples of professionals who are also caring, the fact that she IS a professional might not be the real trigger, but rather that there are limits to your relationship that are not as bothersome to you with other "professionals" in your life. And that's what the word is setting off. Just trying to put my finger on what's hurting, that's all.
