IMO there is definitely a trust that has to be there and giving up a little sense of control in order to progress forward.
You make sense, but I'm not sure if I do. I trust my T more then I have trusted anyone. (Although I don't know how much that is.) It's definitely the issue of making myself vulnerable. I think that the fear is that as I make myself more vulnerable I will begin to rely on my T too much. Of course my T provides guidance, but I don't know if I can say that I rely on him.
