My mother didn't believe me when I shared about one of the men who sexually abused me. Maybe my fear of not being believed stems from that, it's like I can't let my guard down.

My T is really going to have to win my trust, I hate to be like that with her because she seems really nice, but I don't know her well enough.
I think that you answered your own question! Good work. Are you going to talk to your T about this?
