Hi Phillipa..
it depends on so many factors...It took me a long long time to build trust, but I had trust and abandonment issues..it took me a year to be able to tell her I had been hurt in the past, and it took me years to be able to talk a little. Even now I still can't talk quite openly but I trust her as much as I can trust anyone. I've known her for 7 years now, a long time.
I did feel warmth and a positive, deep connection early on....so i'd say that if you feel that connection...you can work together and build trust...baby steps...hoping everything goes well with your T,
Frida
