I have read these same stories of T’s changing boundaries or criticizing the client for sending too many emails, etc, and although I would feel hurt/chastised/ashamed if that happened to me, I almost intensely crave it. How embarrassing is that? I think maybe feileacan has a point about the need for T to create a certain experience for me that maybe I missed as a child. I just don’t understand yet how that would work. I sure hope my T gets it.
