Hey guys!

(Pinksoil, thanks for pasting that in -- I hate I missed that discussion. I'm on here fairly often but I still miss some when I'm busy at work or distracted by something.)

Yeah my therapist has never mentioned boundaries to me either. He once asked me "do you get that you're not a burden to me?" I don't know if I did then, but I'm realizing it a lot more now. Last week he was a few minutes late to the session, and I assured him it was all right. He was like "Why are you so careful to reassure me when I'm the one who has wronged you?" I guess I don't set any boundaries. Sunrise, I don't know what I'd do if I did set some and people refused to respect them. Probably walk away.

I guess my little 2-minute phone conversation with my therapist is me pushing toward boundaries. I think he probably wants me to. Although I would be in total misery if I accidentally went too far. Hm, I wonder if I'd get any warning in advance of actually crossing a line....
