Wow, it's frustrating, isn't it? My T's boundaries are not as strong as yours, and still I freak out every time I run into them. I told her over the summer that I was so tired of this -- because my heart thinks of her as my mother and expects her to act like one and she thinks of me as a client and expects me to act like one and "never the twain shall meet." I also told her I was sick of always being on the hurt end of the equation. So I struggle with this a lot. And yet she DOES hug me, she sits by me and holds me if I ask her to, she is fairly available to me in between sessions. But it just doesn't feel like enough to make up for everything I missed as a kid. Not her fault, not my fault, but sometimes I wonder if the hurt is worth it.
MUFFLED: My T is a pastoral counselor, so we have this in common, too. Maybe we see the same T. :-)
