Thanks. I can partly relate to what you share about a T who thinks changing boundaries will make the client less dependent on therapy. One of my T:s partly did this, mainly keeping too tight boundaries in some aspects and in other aspects she talked to me about personal stuff like I was a colleague.
I say changing boundaries will only make a client very hesitant about what the therapist wants and where his or her limits are. I think some T:s do talk about it but some, if they use it as a method not to be known by the client, they just change boundaries and see what happens.
I really hope my T isnīt the "experimenting" one but that she can stand up for things she had already done for me like offering a hug once in a while. Not that she gets cold feet and puts me in a negative situation.
