That's a tough question Rainbow. I know when I shared everything even though my T accepted it(it was tough for him) it didn't change anything either. I told him multiple times of my need for reassurance, for him to disclose more.........the latter has happened a little more but only because we are ending. I am not sure with my new T what I will do but the only good I can see came from it is that I held nothing back, I was completely open and honest about everything and for me, personally, that was very liberating. I guess what he did give back to me was caring and acceptance anyway, despite everything, and that in turn has helped me to feel better about myself..........that there is this stranger that knows everything about me, mostly the bad, and still cares and wants to help me anyway. However, it was very frustrating to tell him my needs(reassurance being a big one, not a lot..........just a little) and have it fall on deaf ears. I think some of it just depends on the style of your T.
