It doesn't seem like ordering an Uber in session, cutting the session short and telling you he's burnt out is beneficial to you at all. My T acting this way wouldn't make me feel special. Watch what he does, not what he says.

Many people have told me I'm special and that they will always have time for me etc, a lot of the time these people turned out to be using or abusing me. Not saying that's what your T is doing, it's just my experience.

I find boundaries confusing too, I have also worked with my T for 5 years. I thought we had become very close, we have given each other small gifts. I made him a card for his birthday, and he completely forgot about my birthday and didn't even know the date when I mentioned it. So I was wrong about meaning anything to him.

If you feel like the boundaries are blurred then this is no good for therapy. I'm assuming he isn't aware of your erotic transference with him or he wouldn't be hugging you at all while you were still feeling that way.

I know you don't want to hear it, but a good therapist will be able to discuss any and all feelings you have about the process, even crossing boundaries. It happened with my T after about 2 years, we still work together but I would say the worst thing is not being able to cross those boundaries anymore. I knew he would never 'be with me', but I really enjoyed the interactions we had outside our sessions. When he stopped them, I was devastated. I still wish for it to come back.
