I have all these conflicting feelings about therapy. I trust her and yet, I don't. I like going and yet, I don't. I feel like we have a connection and yet, I don't feel comfortable being completely honest with her. Sometimes, I feel like she's being too nice and the idea of getting too attached to her is a frightening one. She wants to work on my self esteem and to get me to see my worth as a person. She kept talking about all my positive traits and how I'm a remarkable young person but I felt like she was saying all that to be nice.
She told me that she really meant what she said and she's not just being nice because she's my therapist but I find that really hard to believe. I guess it's hard to really believe that someone would genuinely care about me or like me.

If you've never had anyone treat you like that before, it is hard to believe it when it does happen. Do your best to find a way to accept her genuine kindness. It will eventually help you in so many positive ways. I think you are very fortunate.

I think your therapist genuinely wants to help you to help yourself. They sound like they care about you. You are very fortunate to have a T like that.

I take what they say with a grain of salt.
