Thank you all. There is a lot for me to think about here!

I certainly agree, in hindsight, that the implication behind what my therapist said appears very black and white in thinking......and I may just discuss this with him. And I also agree in thinking on it more, that trust must come in degrees and that I imagine it would be very hard to trust anyone completely with everything 100%.

I acknowledge that I trust my therapist to a degree, although I was more thinking about other relationships in my real life. That is where I find trust most difficult, near on impossible sometimes now. I do not believe that people will not hurt me, intentionally. I know life happens and we can get hurt unintentionally by others, I am not that naive to be unaware of that! But........What does trust look like in your personal relationships.

I agree that this is a complex issue.....more than I realised. I wonder if this was my therapists purpose. To get me to think on it and come to this realisation. To back away from my fall back position of the past of real black and white "it is either all or nothing" thinking?
