This is such a difficult question to answer. I know that it took me about 6-9 months to get beyond just very safe chit chat sort of stuff with T. He was actually starting to get frustrated with me thinking that there was no reason for me to be seeing him. We had a bit of a rupture I guess (the only one I think we've had). After that I opened up a bit more and now after about 4 years of weekly sessions I feel like I trust him very much.

What is odd is that although I think I trust him, I continually have fears of him "firing" me and wanting to get rid of me as a client. I didn't realize that this was a trust issue but it seems that it is.
