My appointment is during lunch time and I'll sometimes bring a snack and offer it to my therapist. He usually politely declines, but will accept if it's something he hasn't had before or I insist on it.
Once, we've even shared an exotic fruit by both of us taking a bite from it because we didn't have a knife. I didn't think much about any of this since I often share food with others.
However, I was reading a psych book about boundaries, and it said that "sharing food" is a boundary crossing without a clear explanation.
Can anyone explain why this might be a boundary crossing? Am I missing something that's obvious? If neither of us is bothered by sharing some food, why is it a problem? So many rules...
