My gut feeling is that yes, you can trust him.
You can trust him to be himself, with all the strengths and limitations that implies. You can trust him to not want to hurt you and to have your best interests in mind.
At least that's my opinion. And I could be completely and totally wrong here. But he's been pretty consistent in being himself. Insistent on it even.
Can you trust that what he thinks is best for you is really what's best for you? I don't know that you can ever trust anyone, including yourself, to know something so hard to predict.
I don't know that he can ever prove that. You might decide to take that leap of faith. But there is no time table on that. You'll make it if and when you're ready.
In the meantime, enjoy those insights! I wish my therapist had more of them. And better ones...
