No offense but just because your situation didn't work out doesn't mean all therapy ends in heart break. My therapist is not heavily filtered, the focus is not on him but I still know quite a lot about him. Trust is nothing like blind faith. It was earned over a period of years in my case by telling him things and experiencing his response.
Trusting other people seems necessary for mental health overall. Prior to having someone I felt safe talking to I was much much more depressed.
