Updating a friend is perfectly understandable.
Dr T should be aware that he is blurring the boundaries with his disclosures. That should be brought up.
After also reading your Dear T post- you did nothing wrong.he will never be the T you want him to be. Look at what he is showing you now.

Thanks, Lemon. It wasn't quite doorknob, like 10 minutes before, but still. I think he's trying to make it clear he isn't a friend. But yes, the disclosures are confusing. I suppose I need to bring those up.
I do feel he's really helped me lately. He may not be the T I want him to be, but I feel he's often the T I need, if that makes sense. Maybe it's better in the long run that he does have certain boundaries? I don't know.
I did end up emailing him. I started with the irony that I was emailing him about wanting to email. But I tried to make it clear what I was feeling, including conflicting thoughts--and how the shame was winning.
