The first was really more of a simultaneous - I saw her for two years while I was living with ex T. Who said I should trust the new therapist. So of course I did.
I think with the next therapist, and the current one, I screened them well, but was also prepared to back out. I reported with the 2nd. The first would have liked me to.
I think what I had to learn to trust was my ability to protect myself.
