Institutionalized abuse is horrific to endure. I’m sorry for what you have been through.
For a long time, I didn’t have enough trust to even walk into the door to meet with a therapist. I couldn’t even tell my therapist the abuse or give her the records until years into therapy. I still am working on telling her.
It takes courage to walk in door. There is some level of trust to hand over records too.
You have done some amazing work. I can understand why you feel and think it’s hopeless, but I see much reason to keep on the good path that you are on.
If more trust seems impossible - consider avoiding mistrust instead. This has helped me when I thought trust was impossible.
Trust isn’t always a feeling. Trust also isn’t all or nothing.sometukes trust and mistrust can be all mixed up together.Last time I trusted was before July 1977.
