Answered other because I didn't like any of the other answers. I don't equate trust and contacting them for support as dependence. Trust is something that I have difficulty with and she encouraged that by just being consistent always following through. Yes she also encourages me to reach out when I need to. She knows I have a very hard time asking for people for help. We have worked extensively on figuring out how to handle things on my own, seeking help from hubby and a couple of close friends and also other coping skills. Reaching out to her is part of the plan when I am feeling really overwhelmed and safe.
