how do you guys accept therapy/trust in your therapist? (That they'll be able to help you) I'm struggling to trust that this will work if I try and I know I should want to try and feel better, but I'm so skeptical about it. I either think my issues aren't big enough/workable or that I'm not being heard (which is probably irrational), so I have a hard time trying what my T advises or gives me as homework. Any tips?

I know exactly what you are saying & feeling. I can only say that you need to give yourself time. It's not a quick fix process & building trust is MASSIVE!!! My advice is to stay with the process, but do what feels right for you. It's not a race to the finish posts & in your own time, you will share what you can. Good luck, it does get easier.

I have felt the same way. It helped me to actually bring it all up in a session and talk through it with T. I still only trust him maybe 85% but that is more than I trust most people. Just take your time and be patient with yourself.

Long story (which I'll share if you want to know more) but i started my therapy experience on talkspace.com. I was WAAAAAYYYY too scared to talk to somebody in person so that, for me, was a good way to start. The safety of the anonymity allowed me to tell my therapist stuff i never thought i could admit. There are other "chat" oriented therapy sites as well. After a few months, though, she realized i needed more therapy than what can be gotten via that venue so now I am seeing a local therapist in person. Still weird, still kind of new, still building relationship, but I show up every week. I feel like a failure at it still but she supports me. |

It's hard for me to trust people as well. I usually have a pretty good sense of who to trust and who not to trust. I've been seeing my T for years and I know that her intentions are good .she has a a pretty good sense of how I work. I trust what she has to say but I find it hard at times to follow her recommendations. It's not because of her but because of what the changes and adjustments I have to do in my life in order to do so. Carrying it out is sometimes an issue. There are times that I find it hard to carry out her recommendations from one session to the next. It's not about her but me. Other times what she recommends I can't do because I keep her in the dark about certain things. I want to be more open but I still find it difficult when it comes to certain subjects.

You would figure that it's what they get paid to do. I have this whole feeling of its my issue and not hers and does she really care to hear anyway. I prefer to keep it to myself. I'llNolet others fill her ear with things.
