I hold stricter boundaries then most of my T's/ pdoc's.

The best therapist I had read my notes and was a crisis therapist early in her career. She made it so I felt she was fighting with me against this. Made it easier to seek help later. She wasn't squishy and she trusted me to handle myself. That didn't mean we didn't have heated discussions mainly around the ethics of forced psychiatric treatment and hospitalization. I've always been able to negotiate with my T's/Pdocs. Even at my sickest. My ex pdoc let me go home and check myself into the hospital After my family left that day. I think it helps that I make them aware that I've always dealt with MI. My safety measures, and how terrified I am of the hospital. The one thing though is most T's will not work with me unmedicated. My current T says she's willing to try but has her reservations about it given my Dx and being very symptomatic even on medication.

If boundary's changed I would probably just roll with it. I've only ended my therapy with one T because she was a *****. I've gone through several under the pretense I need a higher level of care.
