Oh SAWE, how I wish you could feel that your T's is a safe place!
For me, I think it's the one thing that has helped me the most in therapy. I still struggle with it at times, but I trust my T enough to tell her when I'm struggling. For ME (as I'm sure it's different for everyone), I knew it was a safe place when I told her some of my deepest fears and deepest secrets, and she simply didn't react! It was amazing for me. I'm so used to either being greeted with denial or rejection or simply not heard, that having someone respond with a look that simply said "I'm here, I'm listening, tell me more," was just amazing.
