> she said that in light of that, these are the new rules: no phone calls unless i am going to hurt myself or need to schedule sooner, no hugs til i leave her for good, i.e. when i will never see her again.
I'm sorry Liz. What an awful thing to have happen. Can you ask for a consultation to try to mediate through this (if you think it's worth it?)
But the no phone calls unless you're going to hurt yourself seems like a very foolish rule. Tell her to read Marsha Linehan "Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder". It doesn't matter whether you're borderline or not. It gives a good explanation of sensible boundaries.
