At one point said he can't go shopping with me and help me with a makeover because it crosses boundaries. I told him that I don't think I was asking for that??? It is strange how some things are not boundaried and some oddball thing I didn't ask for is somehow off limits? So yeah I wish he were my friend because is is just so so as a therapist.
Sounds a lot like mine, he has said yes to everything I ever asked him, some he shouldn't and then says no to being in the car with me for phobia work, and stated the insurance would not approve, he never asked or anything.

I wish we were friends instead too, its the hardest thing because we would be amazing friends and well, there is the hope of AFTER therapy for that but some T's just wont even go there, even though its not actually illegal its just not advised

Weirdly enough, mine did suggest we meet up at a store once, because of something they sell related to a phobia, I'd pay to meet him like a session obviously but he didn't seem to think that was boundary issue, so its weird yours did esp without being asked
