This is sort of a tangent, and hopefully the OP doesn't mind, but for those whose answers include a testing phase...what does testing look like? Specifically, what have you done to test and what were you testing for? I ask because my therapist said it might be worth trying to find ways to test her trustworthiness, but I have no idea what that means. I'll ask her this week to explain more, but if anyone has examples, I'd love to know what testing looks like.
