> It was weird to me initially with my HT regarding trust. HT almost encouraged me to NOT trust him/her. My trust issues didn't bother HT one bit. HT told me I should not trust him/her. Early on s/he told me about a book "If You Meet The Buddah On The Road, Kill Him." (It's about therapy). S/he said I should never trust anyone with abandon... never abandon my own inner voice in favor of another's. HT told me it was 'protective,' to be hesitant to trust and "it'll keep you safe." I read the book and it helped me understand the concept of never handing myself over wholly, and keeping myself with myself.
I like that way of thinking of it. It was a good book? I'll have to look it up. My therapist and I talked about trust today, and the difference between feeling trust and acting with trust, and different degrees of trust. It was a bit confusing to me.
