In reply to why (and how) do you trust your T? (kinda long), posted by ghost on July 27, 2005, at 16:19:58
This is all my opinion, ok?
They aren't our friends, they are our therapists. They are paid to be our therapists. Among other things, that entails being on our side, being more non-judgemental, supportive and receptive than any friend could ever be.
No one could pay me enough to do what a therapist does, despite my thread earlier today. What they do is not friendship.
And trust, how to get there? You could tell a little, and a little more, and see how she reacts, and if she reacts well, you might feel able to tell more, to talk about more. For me, it was as though my emotions were wild beasts that needed taming, and he gentled them. I' still a mad little savages sometimes :-)
ghost, best of luck with this.
