So I've come to realize that my t is very aware of the fact that I don't trust anything about our relationship: not the room, not the therapy and most certainly not her. I know she is trying to help and not in this to hurt me in any way, but I can't help but feel like she's going tell my secrets or force me to do something that will hurt me, or I don't even really know.

However, we have been working together for so long now and I feel really bad that it's gotten this far and I still am feeling this way, I should trust her by now. I feel that we need to spend some time directly working on our trust relationship.

I've heard that some ts play a question game with their clients to show that they trust them enough to be vulnerable promoting the feeling in the client that they can be vulnerable with t too. Basically you just go back and forth asking and answering any question that you want with t, but it has to be about t not her family or anything like that. I thought this would be good to do with my t because I feel really imbalanced with how much she knows about me and how little I know about her.

Has anyone played this game or have thoughts on what it would be like to play this with your t. What question would you be most interested in asking?

Hi Tongalee. Thanks for sharing. That sounds like an interesting way to break the ice.
Let me know how it works out for you. I had problems with t's and have not been to one
again in over 4 years. I really haven't been looking too hard for one.Good luck.

I think it would be interesting. But I already know a lot about my T.

It does seem very interesting, I'm only afraid that not many Ts would agree for something like that, but please let us know how it works out for you...

Good luck!
Thanks for this!

I'm interested to hear why you think most ts wouldn't play this game? I'm not doubting you, just genuinely interested.
