that's kinda hard for me to answer .. from the very first session, there has been some measure of trust with my therapist. i've been in therapy for 8 months and the session I had last week was the safest i've ever felt. makes me feel like the 'real' work is just beginning.

when I was where you are, time wise in therapy, i was struggling similarly to how you are describing your experience. but it's not fair to compare since therapy is such a personal experience.

i'm sorry you are struggling right now. i do understand that feeling.
