Well put. My brain was only firing on one cylinder when I typed that response. Yours is much more coherent!

My T has never touched me. I don't know if that's her thing or if she recognizes that it's my thing, but we've never even brushed fingers while exchanging the appointment card. It never occurred to me to ask her about it because it meets a need for me.

She has offered many times for me to call and vent to her voice mail, making sure I understood there would be no return call. It never would have occurred to me to do that because it's not going to meet any need I have at this time.

I guess since I'm a novice at the whole therapy thing, I'm not aware of what I want or need and whether I should be concerned about either of our boundaries, something I will definitely bring up with her now.

Thanks for the insight!
