Trauma work ... stinks. It is unfair. It is wrong that someone harmed another life to the point where they need trauma healing. And it is very difficult to open up and trust others. Even my T has to work with his own trust issues. It is a part of being a survivor.
For me, the biggest thing has been my T has always been consistent.
He is not always right - lol. But he is always true to me. He always tries his best. And he apologizes if he makes a mistake.
In turn, I keep being honest with him about everything. Because he is a trauma expert, I know he knows what to do with me when things get whacky like they have been since my parents had their wreck. He knows what to say, and when to say it. He knows when to give me the space I need so I can heal and figure things out for myself. And he knows when I need him to be right next to my side (like yesterday).
Trust is the most difficult part of healing. IMO, honesty is the biggest part of the equation.
