Do you know why the boundaries are more strict with you? I have heard that some Ts think that certain diagnoses merit different boundaries. I am not sure I agree with that, but there do seem to be some that believe that.
Was there a problem in the past?
Have you ever talked about it-not necessarily in a confrontational way. I think that would be difficult. But has the subject ever come up or could you just ask about boundaries and what purpose your T thinks they serve?
I understand not wanting to leave. I can't imagine leaving T1. But it sounds like staying is painful also. With T1, I am the first appointment of the day-that keeps me from freaking out when the client before me runs over. And I am the last appointment of the day with T3: that way we can get to a reasonable stopping point. She always runs late, sometimes super late. But being last means that we just go even later.
