c of course you want to trust her.... she has to earn it. Ppl who have been 'injured' put up barriers to being hurt again... and she knows this.

Dark humor? Boy I sure can relate. Yes, it's a skill and has worked wonders for us in the past... however your T is right, it isn't healthy. Try at least to stop yourself from using it when you are in session with your T (once you learn other ways to protect yourself, you'll drop it outside the session also.)

That's where it might begin I think, to trust her. Not by giving her secrets or such, but by limiting our defense mechanisms, little by little, as best we can, so the words of wisdom that will lead us home can permeate our lives.

Does any of this make sense?
