Wow Karen, I think you are so much more insightful about yourself than you realize. I''ve had similar feelings with my pdoc when I yearn for the boundaries to be crossed yet realize at the same time that it would hurt me terribly if they were ever crossed.
I don't know the answer. I guess keep thinking, keep writing here.
It could be that maybe you would prefer someone with firmer boundaries, who keeps them consistent. For him to say you are beautiful, then to say later, oh I should stop that it's boundary crossing...well, do you think it may have helped if he had decided the approach right from the start instead of changing it midstream? These are all things you can talk about next session if you want.
I appreciate your honesty, since you have mentally/conversationally tested boundaries I have wondered about too. Maybe I am having a transference on your transference? What would that be, a transference transference?
