That's interesting to me, sister. I don't really equate the lack of boundaries in my childhood (mother stomping all over my feelings, never being allowed to speak up, parents beating me, etc.) to the boundary of a therapist holding firm to a set time for the session

Hey Sunny,

Well, the time boundary may not be something that's important in your therapy. (it seems like your T is pretty loose about time). Since all of our therapies are as unique as we are, the boundaries that your T establishes will be different from mine or Mouse's. The important thing here is that there are some boundaries that we expect our T's to hold fast to whether or not we realize it. (And that T expects us to honor). It helps us to feel secure in the relationship, in the same way that a young child would feel secure when her mother responds to a digression in a calm but consistent fashion.
