those are good questions. i never did trust my other t's. i think that right now i am in with the new one - i am not in a position where ....
what am i saying....
um.. i don't need it? or maybe it depends on what kind of trust you want. like trust them to not hurt you. trust them to tell you the truth, trust them to guide you.
my current t tells me often that she has no needs of me. There is nothing i need to do or fulfill or become... she's here to mirror me and help me find what i want. so i don't need to trust her in those ways - it leaves it open. she's not going to hurt me. and i don't need her to guide me. so maybe i don't need to trust her ....
this is complicated.
i don't know if i "trusted her more" if i would divulge more of my life to her? the neat thing about her is that she looks at my *life* as a puzzle or riddle... not *me* as a puzzle. so some of the strain is removed for me to be the "perfect therapy patient/client" or other mind construents i may come up with. It is a very different relationship with her than i have had with other t's. i am not attached to her.
