Absolutely! I did not trust my T at all when I started therapy, and I was suspicious of everything he said/did.
We've worked together for many years, and I can see now that he is his authentic self...which is wonderful most of the time, and kind of hard some of the time...because it turns out he's human and makes mistakes. But I know he is him, and I can trust him, and the insecurities and mistrust that I brought to therapy with me have faded with work and time and experience.
But yes, it took me quite a while to develop trust, and it was a bumpy road getting here.
Having doubts and insecurities about something, and having that something be the truth are not the same thing....but it took a long time for me to figure that out.
