I agree that this sounds like some serious boundary fuzziness. And it's great that you recognize that this could be problematic for your therapy, even though I'm sure it feels good to get extra time and attention from your T. I used to love when my T went over time. But it did sometimes make me feel bad, then, when we ended on time. Overall, I know it was better for me when we stuck to the agreed upon time frame, because then I couldn't read anything into the actual timing that was used.
Anyway, I would really hope that you would talk to your T about your concerns about boundaries. I think that in general whenever some issue comes up in therapy, the most direct and helpful way to deal with it is to talk to the T. Assuming, of course, that you like your T and want to stay with her otherwise.
