Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are meaning letting your guard down and trusting T. Making yourself vulnerable, open to your emotions while relying on T for guidance is what therapy is about IMO. (I hope that makes sense) In general I don't like to ask for help (but I'm getting much better at it).
IMO there is definitely a trust that has to be there and giving up a little sense of control in order to progress forward.
