I am seeing a therapist, once a week for the past two years minus a couple of months somewhere in the middle there. I’m not seeing a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but just a run of the mill therapist. Little annoyed at not being believed, but I get from reading other posts here that people will lie up a storm for no reason. And yes, it’s much more expensive than it should be. My therapist does help me with boundaries, but again, she’s very much of the mind that I need to be no-contact and seeing it’s my decision to not be at this time she’ll help me with strategies to cope in the situation and work on me being my own person. At the beginning I needed her to tell me I could allow myself to buy myself clothes I deemed “cute” and not just clothes that “served a purpose”.

If you have any books you’d like to recommend though I’d be interested, so far books by Karyl McBride have been the most useful to me.
