It's so hard, you have been through a lot, and that you are questioning trust is quite understandable. It's ok to question giving your trust to someone, but as hard as it is to stop, try not to compare your new therapist with your ex therapist. It's a survival tactic for you, of course, but if you try to catch yourself doing it it may make things easier to change. It's amazing you had the strength to see another therapist after your ex, you made it through that part, now try not to judge your current therapist on the same scale as your former. Think about it this way...I don't think it's possible for you to be hurt by another therapist worse than you already have. You made it through the hard stuff. Hyper-vigilance is SO tough to work through, but I know you can. You're so much stronger than you may think!
I have not been on here in a couple of months, I took a vacation from therapy and things therapy-related, but wondered how things were going with your current therapist.
