Reply to "newbie needing help please"

Blue,
Many many years ago, I had this issue with a T as far as the boundaries go. He used to take me out to eat, we used to go to the mall, he introduced me to his family and accepted me into his home. At the time it felt good because that is what I was longing for and what I wanted but in retrospect it really blurred the line. Having boundaries is part of therapy to ensure the safety (emotional, psychological and physical). I became more entwined with pleasing him than feeling what I was really feeling. It ended very badly. Can you tell your T that you need and would feel more comfortable with some new boundaries. Alot of times growing up, we suffered from not having any boundaries or having our boundaries violated and we need those boundaries in place as adults to protect us.
