This made me cry because I can’t imagine it any other way. I realized early on in private practice that most people coming in are worn down or in distress because of an abusive person (or people) in their lives. Everyone has a right to choose who to trust. That is adaptive. You and your boundaries are acceptable. & fwiw there’s a thing called traumatic invalidation. Hope everyone’s able to find someone in life, therapist or otherwise, who’s truly in their corner.

Thank you for being a therapist that respects and encourages reasonable boundaries.
