Trust did not come easy to me and even now I find myself continually checking the relationship. Learning to not constantly anticipate an attack or fear betrayal is an ongoing process. For me trust developed as I took small leaps of faith in therapy and my T proves herself trustworthy. My T has responded consistently with integrity, not attacked me, or deliberately harmed me . However I think the greatest trust came, when I started to regain trust in myself. I think my level of trust is slowly developing as I regain my sense of self. If I am confident in who I am and the judgments I make then I will know who I should trust and who I shouldn’t. And if I make a mistake and trust someone who betrays me, I will be hurt but I’ll survive.
