If you are meant to keep a relationship with her, it will have to develop very, very slowly to allow you both to gain the confidence to redefine the boundaries. Too much too soon could activate some painful feelings for you, and she doesn't want that to happen. I think your feeling of containment is great--it's your attachment and trust and a sign of a good foundation. As extensive and long-standing as our communication is, both my T and I keep to certain boundaries--and that's ok.
I've been thinking about this. If this is the reason the T did not give a longer reply to the update, I wonder why she didn't explain this? I generally think that T's should explain more about why they are acting the way they do, and not leave clients confused and guessing.
Thanks for this!
