I don't think being in your brain is antithetical to trusting your therapist. Why are people assuming mistrust comes from overthinking? It could very well be overfeeling--that is, going with the fear and nervousness in your gut when you should be considering the situation rationally.

It doesn't sound like TC really even knows why she's having problems trusting her therapist. It's the feelings that are getting in the way, not the thinking.

At least, that's how I see it. I guess I understand what stopdog is saying. Brainy people have a hard time "going with the heart". I know it's hard for me to relate to that concept.
