I agree!

Maybe it's because clients tend to scrutinize our therapist's behaviors. Maybe it's because they are just people, after all. But it seems to me that my therapist frequently changes some of her boundaries. For example, she sent me several meditations and articles by email. She mailed one article to me (post). So I emailed her in return 3 times. The first 2 times, she responded. The 3rd time she didn't, but commented in session that she'd received my 3rd email - and she said it with a weird expression on her face, no comment on the email. I have the feeling she doesn't like receiving emails from me. Who knows why? Probably she would rather I bring things up during sessions.

Yet, I am confused. Why did she send me emails in the first place if she didn't want me to email her in return?

I suppose therapists do something, then change their mind about it, just like anyone might.
