This doesn't describe my experience in therapy at all. It took me several years to trust my T. I still don't tell him everything. I will never take anyone's feedback as gospel.

OP, I do believe there are good Ts out there—I think mine is very smart and competent as well as kind. I'm sorry you've had this experience and hope that you find the help you need, whether that is with a different therapist or through some other means.
Thanks for this!
