Boundaries haven't damaged me. I probably have more boundaries than any of the T's I've had. When it comes to boundaries I think consistency is important. I think it is important for conversation between therapist and client if the therapist wants to change boundaries that way the client is caught off guard. However, I believe somethings like touch or emailing should stay consistent if the T allows. Now, if the client emails or calls too much I believe the T has the right to maybe set a number on allowed emails.
