Sufferer Trust

[littlelostchild]

It has taken me so much time to develop trust with my T, well frankly anyone, but especially the person I am sharing the intimate details of my traumas. We now have a level of trust to work with and it is still difficult some days. I suspect the self blame, shame play into this.

Be gentle with yourself, it all happens when it is meant to happen when you have that trusting therapeutic relationship.

How long does it take for that therapeutic relationship to really establish itself with a therapist? I realize that everyone is different. But what kind of time frame should I be looking at? I have noticed my trust with her is getting a bit better. I know she is not going to hurt me. How long has it taken for some of you guys out there...to really develop that trust??

I realize that everyone is different.

You just answered the question by yourself. Everyone is different, hence different timing with building trust. I don't have therapist, but I can tell one thing. It really depends on your attitude towards healing with therapist, speed of your grasping and adjusting to what is being given to you. Does this help you to understand? :)

So many things, I can't tell you exactly, but can guess for you 7-8 months?
