I don't know about you, but trust is something you can almost feel in the air. I have a pdoc who is very nice and caring, but I never feel that calm, gentle feeling in the room. I am always on guard, "stoic" and I choose my words carefully. I don't think it would matter how long I saw him, the trust would never be there.
With my regular t, I felt comfortable and cared for almost immediately. I sobbed my way thru my first session. What a wonderful place that small room is. Where trust is always there. I am glad you are experiencing it.
