I'm struggling with that myself today. (see my posts above.) Somehow intellectually I "get" those boundaries and I really do want to take care of myself. But...
I'm amazed at the nonsensical nature of these feelings. They aren't rational or reasonable in anyway. I can hide them. But right now they are balled up in my chest and causing a weight on my soul.
And force me to ask myself again: "what am I doing to myself?"
Sorry, I feel your pain but don't have the answer. Mostly accepting that they do care, as professionals and that is "enough" to help us. Working through the significance of the other feelings is part of the work, I guess. Crossing over personally gets dangerous and we don't "really" want that. But sometimes are much harder than others. Seems like you are going through one of those times. I'm working on it by writing...do something for yourself to try to get clarity and/or soothe yourself.
and hugs help. (((Pinkeye)))
