I understand that YOU think this scenario would not be crossing boundaries, but your T would probably think otherwise. Like, in a sense, I still think it was okay for me to drive by my T's house, but she doesn't think so. It doesn't matter what my opinion is; it's HER feelings that are important when it comes to HER boundaries. I don't think an ethical T would put herself into an intimate situation like you're talking about.
There was a group tour I went on, and it was possible that my former T could have gone too. It would have been intimate. She said she was not going, and I think she also said that she wouldn't go if I were going. It would have caused too many boundary issues.
I hope you talk about this issue with your new T right away so you don't get hurt.

Thanks for that, I know that I over-think things too much (and it is not just with Therapy it is with almost everything I do in life) but it is all part of my disorder.
The person who I did the intake with even told me that she tries to stay away from intimate gatherings for that reason, but I said why they are a great experience in life for some.
