This is helpful. Yes, you are right that my parents probably did not set boundaries. I was really good, though, and very much wanted to please them. I’m genuinely confused about how one would get this experience in therapy. I mean, it’s just some guy I see once/week. Are you willing to share your experience or give another example of how this could happen now in my adult life?
