I found the fake and arbitrary boundares only gave the
illusion of safety for the client, while providing a measure of safety for the therapist, which in the end was the point.
I reject the selling point of therapy as a "safe space". If it were safe, why the fixation on boundaries? Sounds more like something that is fundamentally problematic.
He talks about modeling good boundaries, yet is selling caring by the hour, and pushes you out the door in a distressed state after behaving ambiguously.
All of my therapists routinely violated normal interpersonal boundaries, while implying they were upholding them.
