Yeah; exactly. If she didn't make such confident, promising statements, I wouldn't feel betrayed. You may be right that I have past experiences that make this more powerful. I can't seem to link it to any past experiences at the moment, though, but it could be there. Before psychoanalyzing the relation to the past, though, it would be healing if the therapist could acknowledge her contribution. This is the first step. Second step would be talking about how I can trust her words in the future. The third step would be exploring if the powerful feelings have anything to do with the past.
