How did you Know you could trust your T

Thank you for all the amazing response in this thread. I feel that I have learned a lot by just reading them. I notice that a lot of people here really found a way to depend on their T's emotionally, and were thus able to heed their T's guidance. I think the trouble for me is that I don't ever give my T the opportunity to give me much guidance. I haven't really allowed myself to need her. I've been in therapy for a long time so I kind of know the in's and outs of the anylitic framework (and I'm just analytic in general so I anticipate the arguments T's make), and I wind up doing most of that kind of work in my own head, so I end up feeling like I don't need my T. I've also had some bad luck with T's and have felt like it was all up to me to figure out how to heal, which I think I have done for myself some, but I'm realizing now that its never going to get all the way better unless I let someone else help me. I think Frog said it best when he said that Trust is the <3 of therapy. Thank you everyone for responding to this thread, I'm sure that I will want to look at it several more times as I'm going through the process of learning to trust another.

I sensed that I could trust her pretty early on, but it still took awhile for me to really, actually trust her. It happened little by little, very slowly. Basically, she kept showing me over and over that she was trustworthy, by being consistent in her care.
