As others have said, it sounds like you said all the right things. Ironically, I would wonder about my T if he did not keep strict boundaries. It is important to me that he do, and I don't think I would trust him if he did not. Down to the last second, we never go over time. As far as phone calls, I could call him at home as I have his cell number, but I just don't think I could under any circumstances. That is pretty bad, but it is how it is. RE emails, I occasionally email him, and he does not email me back usually unless it has to do with scheduling or something like that. My last email to him was to give him my home and cell numbers. Apparently he had only my work number. Darn; I said to him. I should have left it that way, and I got the intent look. So, I would wonder why your friend wants her T to break the boundaries. I don't know how many here have therapists who are strict about boundaries, but if they were trained psychoanalytically as I was, then you know it is extremely important to maintain boundaries.
