hey Asia,
very interesting thread.
I think everyone has been through some kind of trust issues during their life, from the little child who was abused by her parents, the teenager who was bullied in school, the spouse was was cheated on, some can get over the mistrust they place on others, some can't.
I think it is because we take a huge risk when we start a new relationship, sexual, friendship even our therapeutical one. We disclose the most intimate parts of our lives to people who we think we can trust but later this information can be used against us and mostly is should the relationship break.
Is anyone really trustworthy? Well we are all humans so we are programmed to make mistakes and learn from them (hopefully)!
It is up to us who we trust and why we trust certain people and not others- these are all choices we have to make in life. I think I am subconsciously choosing to trust the wrong people so I can stay in this darl pit of misery and act like a victim.
Of course this had to be pointed out to me by t because otherwise I would never have seen this pattern of destruction.

We can hand all of our trust over to someone else and I think this is what happens in therapy sometimes. We do hand ourr lives over to our therapists and open up the gates for judgements and new ways of dealing with old wounds and just sometimes our therapists screw this up and becuase we are so vulnerable in therapy we share things we wouldn't with anyone else, it can be devastating. Yes, these feelings afterwards are just feelings but our thoughts and feelings control our minds and our minds control our bodies and therefore take over our beings and can lead to disaster if we let them.
I think you underestimate the power a therapist can have over us if they reject us but of course we have to give them that power in the first place.
