Hi Home alone. Trust for you with a therapist must be extremely difficult. Because you have been violated by a therapist it is even more important that they keep the boundaries very clear. I've been in recovery for a very long time. My take on therapy is that it is not a place to do equal sharing with my therapist. Perhaps a group setting would be more appropriate. In my work in therapy the process has been largely my discussing my experiences and how they've effected my life. The therapists job is to guide me through the process and to teach me how to resolve the things of the past and give me tools to deal with today. I have asked "Is this normal?" questions. My therapist can tell me what is appropriate without giving me her personal experinces. Good luck to you. Annie
