When you have a whole life to change how do you start? Is change even possible? I am beginning to wonder about myself. How can I trust someone when I never have before? Perhaps it's too late, and perhaps I don't want change enough.

Well, you really don't have to change your whole life at all. You just have to look at whatever is getting the most "airtime" in your head right now. That's the catalyst to helping you feel better. That one little thing you are thinking about.
A good therapist can take that one little thing and help you to put it into a context of your past and present. They can help develop the narrative of your life. They can help you to see the patterns and how you are likely still carrying some stuff from the past into your present. They can help you see that unhappy yesterday doesn't mean unhappy tomorrow.
Just talk about that one little thing that's bothering you today. That's it. I think you will be very very surprised where it leads.
