So as not to hijack another thread, i am creating a new one. This quote made me wonder if this is what others see as the point of therapy and if others actually feel helped by this sort of thing. I do not think any of these things happened with the t I just quit with. I am not trying to mess with anyone, I am really curious. I am having a great difficulty in understanding if therapy can do anything for me that I think I want to do.
So do these things really help?

" ....all the things they HAVE gained from our work together. Positive moments. Connection. Any transitional objects. Positive affirmations in session, etc."

And can anyone explain what "trust the relationship" means? Trust it to do what?
