Now, looking back, I’m feeling a little angry that few of my previous therapists brought up the subject of boundaries, in general, or suggested that I might want to firm up my boundaries. It would have been helpful. I didn’t know it was something lacking or needing improvement from me.
Now I’m wondering if my ‘expectations’ are too high since it seems the subject doesn’t come up much at all in other people’s therapies?

Oh, I see. I was thinking of discussing therapy boundaries in therapy with the therapist particularly.
The topic of boundaries in general comes up in one way or another in most sessions. Recognizing them, setting them, understanding them, feeling I have a right to set them... T even gave me a book to read a while back (which I hated).
