Thank you so much for this thread. I had a conversation with my T today when we discussed my need to reach out by text. She never responds only to say see you next week. I wrote to her and said that I would never reach out unless I was in genuine need (& I was extremely hurt/in need of support when I texted) so today she confirmed she had received my letter, said it was okay for me to write to her and also ok to text but she would not reply as it was her boundary. I didn't understand what she meant but I was too upset and embarrassed to ask. I know what boundaries are but what exactly did she mean? She also didn't reply to my texts when I was in need last week and I just feel 50 minutes a week isn't enough. Is T really worth it as it seems to be causing more stress with her boundaries. I don't know whether I should raise this again or not. Basically I can text and write but she won't reply. But then the need has usually passed by the time I see her in session. I feel really alone and not supported/no connection. Sad.
