I have been thinking about this lately in a different context, and I think it's kind of about trust. Once you start really trusting your therapist, you can believe that s/he is making those decisions carefully, and choosing the right boundaries for you. It's not necessarily that certain actions are always "wrong," (outside of sex, etc.) but that Ts have to be very careful about choosing what to do for a particular client.
Sometimes I read these and I'm REALLY jealous of people who have heard "I love you" and gotten hugs from Ts. But I also suspect (well, sometimes ;)) that my T is protecting my best interests and choosing the right boundaries for our relationship is part of that, if that makes sense.
