It helps if the T makes it easy to trust, of course. My T makes it very clear that she will accept me and like me no matter what I say, and I've seen that happen. The harder part is trusting MYSELF.

When I went from T #1 to T #2, I found that trusting the second T was easier, even though I had to get used to her and even though I felt that T #1 had broken my trust a little. But, then, after feeling that 2 T's had broken my trust, and a break of 5 years between T #2 and T #3 (current T), it was MUCH harder to trust my current T.
You're right, it is helpful if the T makes it easy to trust, and my current T does that. It's way harder to trust myself, and to get past the history of trusting people and having that trust broken. My T and I talk about this a lot, as it has come up several times.
