Both my current T and the T I consulted today apparently have extensive experience with trauma - current T did her graduate counselling work with survivors of abuse. I think it's just a different style - the T I consulted today used a fancy word for it, first stage trauma counselling or something, where rigid boundaries are apparently super important and the client should not be allowed to "get away" with breaches (my word, not hers). That approach may work for some, but it clearly isn't doing me any favors.
