I do not believe this is true. I think it is a highly romanticized/sentimental view.
I would say in a broad sense trust is believing the other will generally not set out to intentionally do you harm. But there is a range and in the specifics some who are broadly trusted are not. I trust most humans are not setting out to hurt me. The therapist once asked me if I trusted her and seemed surprised when I said in some ways. I trust she will be there at the time she has set, that her fees are what she said, and that she will not intrude on my real life (this was not immediate but she has shown she can stay back).
I do not trust her not to mock me as a general rule (she has done so in the past) - so I do not trust her with mockable things in areas where it would distress me to be so mocked.
That sort of thing.
