I feel bad for those of you that struggle so much with your relationships with your t's. I wish for you that you could just trust in that relationship and not have all the ruptures. If your t's are worth their weight, you can trust them to be looking out for your welfare and not spend so much energy worrying about that. And I do think they are worth their weight, but you have to learn to trust in that.

for me, this is specifically what my therapy involves - learning to trust, giving me practice etc. if i "just" trusted my T, i wouldn't be gaining any headway on my issues -- i wouldn't learn what is ok and not ok in the 'real world', how to cope with my trust in someone being shattered, learning what my boundaries are etc.
i wonder if the reason we are different, farmergirl, is that trust isn't a general issue in your daily living? i have BIG trust issues. it's the number one thing i need to work on - prevents me from having close relationships, being vulnerable, asking for help etc.
as for other people knowing - i don't typically tell anyone unless it comes up, but given that i'm studying psych & on a fairly restricted diet because of my meds, a lot of ppl ask me about it (but never in depth). i don't agonise over it with other people though, i use PC for that
