So there is trust in the relationship, i mostly "know" she is a person of trust, a person who is being paid specifically not to be damaging. She is as a therapist a person of high regard.

But something still gets in the way, that "knowing" of trust isn't enough. So what drives the fear, the feeling in your body that say to put up the defences?
I'd say, experiences of hurt. A lot of our prediction of the future, is based on experience of the past.

Problem is, as I'll often say, we don't forget. I think at a meta level, that therapy is about overwhelming the prior experience with a newer more healthy experience. Make sense?
Thanks for this!
