My T is very good about listening to my side of the story and thinking about his part in things. I vividly remember the first time I brought something up that T had done that upset me. It was so scary to say it, but T thought about it and agreed that I was right. He said "I was a bad therapist that day!" and joked about it a little, but also sincerely apologized too, and worked to make it right. That went a long, long, LONG way towards me building trust in him and in myself. I always think of that session as the day my therapy *really* started.

Good for you for trusting yourself and being brave.
Thanks Tree. I agree with your comment about defining moments in therapy. I feel that, too.
