This. T gets a somewhat filtered version of the truth, if only because it's really difficult to completely convey everything.
Also, whenever there is a discrepancy between T's view of me and my view, it's usually difficult to reconcile because, while I might believe what she is saying intellectually, I just don't connect with it emotionally. Reversing a lifetime of negative thoughts about yourself ain't easy.
For me it's less about trust than it is about dealing with the dissonance that comes with hearing something that is SO opposite to my own experience.
