BIG question, Fuzzy.

I, too, have trust issues. I ask my T all the time about it. I like what ______________ said, you learn trust by taking one more step each time you deal with the person. It't kind of like testing the person. You trust a little and as they pass the test, the next time or maybe the time after that, you trust a little further.

I know where your question is coming from. I've been trying to figure out the trust thing. I've often asked in total confusion how someone you're supposed to trust to take care of you is the one who rips that trust away. It creates a lot of confusion and I think as we work through therapy, it will all come together.

Maybe for now, we can be a little more patient with ourselves and give ourselves permission to be confused and hurt and have trouble trusting. As long as we are aware and try to let some people in a little bit - practice with safety.

Lots of love,
