They are only human, they do make mistakes. We are to trust them because they have knowledge that can help. I don't think of a T as superior, only that she has a set of skills that can help me to work on issues I want to and help make improvements. As humans they make mistakes all the time and hope we are still ok. I don't think of them as some all powerful being. Yes trust them to help and with information (as they are bound by confidentiality) but don't expect them not to balls it up.

The difference in therapy ( for me anyway) is my T's willingness to hear me and process all feelings and to not dismiss me or shut me down.
