I like this post a lot. It took a long time to trust my T. He has been with me almost 5 years. I met him when I was in a program which required me to be in a group setting, I absolutely hated it! My individual meetings with him is the only thing that kept me strong and grounded. I have to say I really trust my T. I have opened up to him about things that I haven't able to admit to myself yet. As in dark secrets I hold deep inside of me. It was really a breakthrough to be that open.
My T always says every time we open our heart to another human being there is a risk we take. But we have to be willing to open up our heart that much to reap the benefits. Not half way. And I have always done thing half donkeyed (you get it?) This time I let him in, as I have done with my boyfriend relationship wise. I never thought I would be able to, but I did.
Good luck!
