I've had at least 5, maybe more ruptures with T. I define, for myself, a rupture as anything that challenges my trust in T and I begin to feel fearful or angry towards her with thoughts that maybe I should quit therapy.
And like Hankster mentioned, each repair strengthens the relationship. Each time T proves that she's really there for me, no matter what has happened between us makes the bond stronger. And usually what 'happens' is just my own dysfunctional interpretations caused by longtime wounds.
