It was a good article. Although, his comment of "So much for boundaries being bull" caught me as a little bit... wrong? I don't disclose everything to everyone. Even my best friend doesn't know things about me, not because I'm hiding them but because, in the course of our discussions, they aren't relevant.

My T is very open, discloses a great deal, and yet I know there's a ton about him I don't know even if I do know a lot. There are boundaries everywhere all of the time. I guess maybe I took his anti-therapist's comment as "strict boundaries are bull" - that you are who you are, disclose what is relevant, and don't get hung up on whether or not you should tell someone something or not.
