Mine has "gone bad" and it was very hard, but I'm still trying to turn things around. If my therapist sticks through this with me then it might be a healing experience, knowing we can survive something so difficult. I don't think it should have happened, but it's life, really. Sometimes we get hurt (if we let people in). If they let us in, then sometimes they get hurt too.

Trust is really hard and for most people I think it's something that is slowly built up. In therapy it can be a long slow process as we reveal such big vulnerabilities. If we let people in they can hurt us, big time. I also think that if we don't let anyone in then we are alone and we miss so many positive sharing experiences as well.

Therapy is such a unique and amazing relationship. A therapist can help to give an individual the tools to feel strong enough in the future, that even if someone breaks their trust, they know they can cope with it and not let the hurt completely overwhelm them.

If this is something you do in your life, keep people at arms lengths because you fear being hurt, and having the hurt be more than you can cope with, then I think it's a good thing to keep working through in therapy.

Sometimes it's easier to hear the few bad stories because they come across so loudly while someone is hurting so much. There are so many good stories too. Because my story began with four good years before going bad, I am surviving it, and hopefully I can change it back into a good story again.
