It's interesting to read everyone's take on boundaries. I kinda wish I was like some of you who have your own hard boundaries. It would have made life a lot easier for me! In my experience, it is very damaging to have a T offer one thing, then decide there's a time limit and take it away after awhile. What's even more damaging is T not talking about it, and letting the client just figure it out on their own. This is what I've been through, and I've found it quite harmful. And I find myself wasting time by watching for any new changes...afraid she is going to change something else and I'm just going to have to realize it for myself. If I had it to do over again, I would have talked about boundaries in the beginning till I was blue in the face. So I knew what to expect. Although, I did briefly bring the subject up beforehand, and really the only boundary she gave me is no gifts.
