I think you can get some benefits, but I believe that trust is necessary to get the most out of a therapeutic relationship. Everyone has their own level of trust they need to reach in order for that to happen - it won't be the same for everyone. I think I get a lot out of therapy even though I don't 100% trust that it's going to last. Others may need certainty of that and may not need to trust their T's empathy, for example.

But I think you need trust on some level.
