Nonny ... we're all going to die, we all have problems, and most people will never find you important enough to care what your vulnerabilities are. You deprive yourself by hiding.

The reasonable way to find out who's trustworthy and worth confiding is gradually. You tell them some not-terribly-damaging things and see what they do. If they try to fuck you over with it, they don't get any more sensitive information. But that's also how you find out who won't try to use stuff against you.

Also - in a lot of situations, trust is not an all-or-nothing thing. The better you get to know people, the more you understand what they're good at and bad at, and what things they can't be reasonable about. You know when to trust them, and with what.

Very kind & true.

Also, it's 100% fine and in fact a good idea to treat a new therapist somewhat like this - a therapist who's a good match for you will be able to challenge your thoughts without dismissing, rushing, or making a lot of wrong assumptions about you. If you go to a therapist and feel like your small risks of trust aren't being rewarded, you can ditch them and get another!

(That said, *most* of the time when a therapist is a bad fit, it's just because their intuitions are so out of line with yours that they want to solve a different problem than the one you have, and it's a little too much effort correcting them, not because they are actually trying to hurt you.)
