Thank you all for your responses...I know I need to work on trusting others, but it still is so hard to believe that someone could "look forward" to listening to me whine about myself.

The comment about T's saying things "just to make us feel better" and that it might not be a bad thing really go me thinking...sometimes it does seem helpful to have reassurance just for the sake of getting to a better place, but when it really comes down to it, I want to trust that my T DOES care, not that she says things only because she is doing her job.

I guess it all just comes down to T relationships...they are so unlike any other that it is impossible to figure them out exactly. I hope that I can find a balance between feeling like my T should hate me and desperately needing her help...not a comfortable place to be...

Does anyone have stories of successful ways they leaned on their T's? Ways in which they asked for support during really difficult times and got exactly what they needed to help them move forward? There have probably been threads like this before, but since I'm new...
