I think there may be similarities between people about trust with T just like there are similarities between people about anything.

It took me almost a year to start to feel trust. I was very quiet in sessions for that time. I wanted to trust. Then during the Christmas holiday break, and after reading a post by Mouse, I decided I was going to make a leap of faith and just begin to trust. (I think trust is a process) I was going to trust and talk freely. That's just what I did and it worked. Trust began to form and grow.

Now really feeling it took until just recently. Deciding to trust and all that happened in between then and now contributed to my being able to really feel the trust. I had to learn that I could .. trust.. the trust.

For me signs of trust were being able to be more present in therapy (not dissociating), not withholding so much, feeling more relaxed, and being able to feel she is still there for me after I leave and if I don't get to something that session then there is next time... she's not going anywhere.

There is much relief in the trust. It was so worth the leap of faith it took. One of those times I had to be afraid and yet do it anyway.
