How do you learn to trust your T and open up to them? I'm afraid that if I start therapy I won't be able to open up and talk about anything. Any suggestions or thoughts? I just don't know that the risk is worth it if I can't open up to them...

after my initial session w/ T I compiled a list of observable things about him I thought might be barriers to me trusting him. I brought that list with me to my next session and we talked about ways to overcome some of the barriers. he validated my concerns and was very encouraging of my feedback. just being able to voice how hesitant I was to trust another therapist made me feel a lot better.
