Hi Dinah
Discovering that I have trust for my therapist is "amazing and powerful", and very mysterious to me. Im not really sure how it happened and recently spent some time thinking about this.
It feels a little like my first therapist had frustration because she couldnt shake my secrets out of me without building up the relationship first. The connection and trust never came. I havent quite identified yet what it is in my new therapist that I trust. I think its something about the combination of her strength, gentleness, and respect, but know there is much more to it than that. I just havent been able to define it all yet. Whatever it is, she stood by me while I found my way. Its as if something deep within me responded to her with trust, and then my intellect scrambled behind to verify it was all real and true. The process was/is very powerful and deep.
Thank you for the welcome!
