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?

I don't feel I've made am issue about boundaries because A/ my T has never crossed any lines.
B/ I don't feel powerless so don't need to shout about them from the roof tops.
I feel confident within myself now enough to just trust that if something happened that I wasnt comfortable with, I'd say so. Plus. I don't see the value of being in therapy with a therapist that would cause me to have to tell them that something felt uncomfortable.
Don't forget. Some might say they wouldn't tolerate this or that. But could they carry that through? That's maybe where the emphasis comes from.
