I am hyper alert to not wanting to cross boundaries - not only in therapy but also in R/L.

I don't know anyone, T or not, who is perfectly consistent. I know as a parent that consistency is really important (I find it is also terribly important to my dog, who adores thinking that she's made a connection, like some kind of behavioral archeologist), but I think that humans are pretty complex for the most part and that makes any of us unlikely to be consistent.
I've tried to become more accepting, and comfortable, with other people's inconsistency. I find it makes me more comfortable with my own.
