Boundaries are not so much about restriction as learning how to respect yourself and others. After a violation, yes, in certain cases a restriction would need to be enforced. But I hope that your T is gearing your next session toward learning and personal exploration.
You can practice sensing your own boundaries by continuing to study (though I know you are hurting) and remembering that your success on this test and integrity as a person does not hinge on what T (or anyone else) will or will not do with you.

Wow, that makes total sense from that perspective.
