I don't agree with part of this. I do think it is the T's job to do role induction/ explain the rules, boundaries and frame upfront. In my job, I get email nonstop, and many professionals do. I do agree there can be a sense of entitlement in emailing or a sense of demanding free therapy on The 4th of July- and how unreasonable that is. However, that is the meaty part of the T's job: to explore this with the client.
