There was never a conversation about boundaries with any of my therapists only one! She crossed my boundaries in a most unprofessional way. She asked me to be friends on Facebook and gave me a lecture then on boundaries. This was clearly her issue not mine and I never went to see her again.
Tangerine, what happened to you is very unfair. I wish ts would be upfront about their limitations and avail abilities when they first meet! Did your t at least give you a good reason for taking away your emails?

In future if I hear the word boundaries from a t I will walk out the door!
I tell my clients that I can take calls at certain times, they can text but not to expect a reply straight away, I will get back to them when I can. I tell them when I am going away and when I will be back and so far this has worked well for me and them. I brought one client to supervision because they would always text on Saturday nights and my supervisor asked if it was an emergency I said no, he said so leave it till Monday morning for a reply. As a client I would be upset, I asked was it ok to reply on the Saturday and he said well it's up to you. I said I felt it was important for this particular client as they have attachment issues and just need to know I am still there. He said how about a little text to say you are there and will reply on Monday. We agreed to this. I have flexible boundaries for different clients but mostly I am open to outside communication, when it gets too much I will implement changes for me and clients safety.
