I am weary of ts and their boundaries, having been stung by my first t and her strange boundaries.
She would text me first, I got confused with what her role was and the boundaries of our therapuetic alliance. It was my first experience of therapy and she didn't explain the boundaries within our relationship.
At the time I was very lonely and desperate for connection, naively I thought by her contacting me and checking in that she was being a good friend. I would text her occasionally and she didn't like that and gave me a lecture about boundaries. I was confused. Next t friend requested me on Facebook and when I accepted she sent me a message on Facebook saying we can never be friends and denying she sent me a request. Needless to say at this stage I was really confused and distressed by therapists and their boundaries.
A few years later and I still don't trust therapists to keep safe boundaries for me so I instil them for the both of us by not contacting t outside of sessions and by not getting too close incase I have to rely on them. I know this is not entirely healthy either but I can't trust a t to be there anymore. I have seen do many ts with boundaries looser than their knickers and it frustrates me that they then deny any wrong doing.
