I'm not talking about a T self disclosing, I know enough about her, I did a lot of research on T's until I found on I thought I could trust.. because trust is such a huge issue. She has given me her email and cell number... but cell is something I would call only if I were going to do something drastic, She is fine with me emailing her, and we discuss email in session. I asked her at the beginning if that was ok and she said sure... so that is not the issue.... The issue is that it takes a lot to trust for me and we were getting ready to do some serious trauma work... and I basically asked her if I could trust her to see me through it and not discharge me half way through... that was all I asked...do you think that is unreasonable.
I am not violent, I do not have mood swings, If anything, I get quite depressed and recently have had issues with fear of abandonment.. mostly because 3 months prior she was thinking she may not be the right person to help me, but then things got better and I needed to know I wasn't going to get halfway through the crap and she discharge... Abandonment is not normally an issue I have ever had... until she brought up she didn't know if she was helping me or not.. when it took me almost a year to trust her, and she knows why and thinks it's valid that I have that fear.... so I figure if I am getting ready to disclose serious trauma because that's the point we are in the workbook she has me working on... then I don't think it is unreasonable to ask if she is going to stick with me... that's the only trust issue I am talking about.
