This is me for sure.. Although I have only been in thearpy for about 2 1/2 months.. I went in there saying I HAVE to open up to him, or I am not going to get better. That does not mean that I shared everything all at once, there are things that I suspect that will come out along the way. With every session I have with T, he says something comforting or insightful, or has been there to take my calls outside of session.. This is how I am starting to trust him.

I know you are the 6 month mark, but I think it just takes more some people more time to open up than others. Keeping going, if you feel like this is the right T for you, and I suspect things will get better. If not, maybe this is the right T for you.
