But my experience is that when therapists come out of the spell of any sort of intimacy, and realize that they've gone too far with the boundaries, it's the client who pays the price. That's not just true of sexual boundaries, but any sort of boundaries.

This is the one thing that would scare me if I was in a similar situation. I may be overly sensitive to this because I ended up in the bed of a minister who was acting as my counselor when I was in high school....and the repurcussions from that were pretty deep and long lasting. My current T is very, very available to me - I absolutely trust his boundaries, so I'm not worried about that, but we do have a lot of contact outside of session through e-mails and phone calls. Not in a friendship way - I'm just at a point where I need extra support and he's at a point where he can give it. But EVERY time our relationship makes any sort of shift towards more intimacy or even more comfort, I panic a bit, worrying that I will be abandoned the way I was when things went way too far with the minister in high school (he put a stop to the therapeutic relationship after he brought me to his apartment and his bed).

So, I guess this is a long way of saying that I would be scared of the boundaries being redrawn after that type of disclosure. I don't think that will happen with you, pink. I really think your T knows what he's doing.
