Thanks. I think exactly as you, that she when I come to session suddenly wonīt be that "friendly" or warm anymore.
Do you mean you actually has asked your T to stay the same or if itīs more of a wish you have?
I think to a certain extent it's realistic to expect a T to be the same when it comes to how he or she meets with clients. Of course a T can have a bad day, not feeling allright but itīs another thing if a T for example give hugs once in a while and then suddenly denies a client all physical contact.
I think a T needs to know his or her boundaries from the beginning and not being hesitant about them after seeing a client for some weeks or months. I think thatīs what often happens when clients experience their T:s making substantial changes in session.
