hey. yeah, trust is hard. express vulnerability and people target you as something to exploit. that is my experience. hard for me to express vulnerability now. but not expressing it... leads to problems too (where t thinks i don't like them and / or they aren't helping etc). i'm a little better at expressing appreciation after having done dbt. i did express gratitude that he is willing to work with me. i've also said that i didn't want to go to this other city because i wanted to keep working with him... thats all though. tis hard for me :-(
