That explains something to me. Thanks. Also you are right to bring the issue of safety. That has to be in place in therapy at all times, in my opinion. If boundaries are there for safety, then I can understand the emphasis on that. I guess I don't feel that boundaries create safety for me; empathy and responsiveness does. I mostly need to feel understood so I am more focussed on things other than boundaries.
