I lost most of a night’s sleep once because in a session where my therapist was telling me I can trust him (which I do), I just blurted out that trustworthy people don’t need to tell others they’re trustworthy.

I felt horrible after I said it and couldn’t sleep all night. I ended up texting him at 2 am a meme of the brain in bed with wide eyes and I wrote in the thought bubble “what if he thinks I actually don’t trust him?”

He thought it was pretty funny in the end, and said he knows that I like and trust him. In reality, I was probably one of several clients he saw that day and I bet he didn’t think twice about it. If he did, I’m sure he knows it isn’t about him.
