She looked shocked at how forwardly I stated my feelings on that subject lol

I do understand why those boundaries are there....but for me, they are unnecessary. I am perfectly capable of deciding what is good for me - and what isn't; on my own.

Good luck to you too! Therapy is a very interesting journey
LOL... Good for you!! I like that you said exactly what you felt about boundaries. As a matter of fact, I plan on discussing my T's boundaries next Tuesday She does not self disclose..at all. It almost seems like there is invisible wall,if you will. She told me that she has to have them...and I get it..I don't want to know all about her personal life..it's about me, not her..but because I am self disclosing such intimate personal stuff that nobody else knows...it would be nice just to have a little glimpse into her world, just a little one. It's a little frustrating, as I am sure you know! I even went as far as telling her that I am aware of transference but she is not my mama nor is she my lover...lol She is most certainly very relevant in my life...but it is hard to grasp...my last session was so uncomfortable...because of the silent moments,,,makes me squirm..at the end I told her 'okay, time to go". So i need to dig into that a little deeper..see what triggered those feelings of anxiety,fear. Next Tuesday will be here soon enough : ) You have a wonderful night and I am sure we will catch up again soon
Thanks for this!
