Are free sessions boundary crossings? I'd just consider them pro bono work, no?

Anyway, my therapist hasn't violated any boundaries. The idea makes me as the idea's so ridiculous. According to official definitions of boundary crossings, she's done some extremely helpful ones, such as telling me pieces of her own story, for example. I have no doubt she has a careful filter on what she says. It does wonders for me to hear of some of the things she has overcome, because she's so healthy now - it makes me feel optimistic and makes finding my courage that bit easier

Other twat of a so-called T (he pretended to be a psychiatrist who did therapy, he was actually just a GP with an interest in young female patients and their mental health, I saw him three or four times before alarm bells rang and I left) violated LOADS. One particular gem was when he told me my bipolar friend was just regular, but I was sooooo interesting and fascinating and he's talked about me round the dinner table in the psychiatric hospital he was in that week. Yeah. I had massive sexual transference for a couple of weeks with him, and because I was a therapy rookie I flirted shamelessly and he flirted back. I used to feel like we were on a date in his office - I'd go in for an hour and be there for three. He self-disclosed in a mad sort of way, telling me all about his problems with his ex-girlfriend and how she stole money from him, and carelessly tell me about how some days he would need to take a Seroquel to calm down or Modafinil to wake up and get going. I was fine, because I could walk away and laugh at the inappropriateness - but he really messed with my friend, at one point screaming down the phone at her that it was Saturday night and he was out with his friends, and then bursting into tears and begging her to take her meds
