If I recall Robert Baker's Mind Games, this late head of the U of Kentucky Psych Department also warns against surrendering completely in someone's hands.

It is not advisable to any proffession but especially not to therapists- although that being said, I don't think therapy can be successful if we are not a little vulnerable!
That sounds like an interesting read Missbella

That being said, I am forcing myself to trust her. I don't trust anyone. I've been abandoned so bad that I wound up homeless with no one and nothing. But I cannot survive this life on my own at the current time. I have to get help. I have to trust someone. Will it hurt me in the end...yeah, probably. But at least I realize it...not that it will make it any easier. |
I sorry you were hurt so bad
Maybe it's safer to trust a little bit at a time and only give trust to people who earn it?
