I didnt directly ask my t - i let him know by what i told him about my past.
I dont question his sincerity. That doesnt necessarily mean i believe it! But he asked me to trust him to do his job, and after a while i did.
If he says something because he thinks i need to hear it - imo, that would make him an excellent therapist. Its all in how you look at it, right?
The point of my post was more that it is very difficult to overcome the programming of our past. Thats the bucket. Its kinda scary.
I often question how good my t is for me. But i can see big differences in how i interact with people now as compared to a few years ago, and i am pretty sure that can be attributed to my work with him and on PC.
