I was hurt past in the past by therapists, including one who was in over their head.
My therapist now? She told me from day one I didn’t have to trust her, and frankly, she expected that for awhile I wouldn’t, and that there would be times distrust would come back up. Then she said,“But I am still going to stay in the room try to help.”
Just by exploring this issue about your old and new therapist, you are doing some good work.
Trust also doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I trust my therapist in some ways, and not others - but we work through it to figure out what we can work on together.
