The only hard boundary he has that I can think of is we don't ever talk for more than the hour. I'm glad that we can hug and that I can call or email on occasion, I think without some minimum touch and minimum contact I could be obsessed on those two points... The one hard boundary does seem to be a thorn in my side, not so much that I need an extra 10 minutes (who doesn't though) but more because I go down the story line of "my therapist doesn't ever enjoy talking to me, he is late frequently and he never gives me so much as an extra 10 minutes." I kind of wish he was a bit more flexible on the time as well, even if it was just a session or two a year so I could get past this hang up of "he doesn't like talking to me, it's just an act." The sad thing is he probably really doesn't like talking to me, no one does .
