I didn’t know this until my daycare-piano teacher showed me what trust is. I was 5 and had already failed kindergarten.
O my @PinCushion
Please don’t dwell on the past.
Dinosaurs are dead and forgotten and we don’t have to make an effort to dig them up.
I know it’s so tough to be positive these days but that the present.
Think of the few happy past moments and flush the rest down the toilet.
Therapists can help but usually they are all talk and no action. They can’t change anything until you do.
That’s why I like Doctors because they have pills That work.
If yours aren’t working right now can you ask for more or or a supplement?
It can only get better from here.
Cling to that sliver of hope.

Agree with @katwomansz that dwelling on the past isn’t good. When I fixate on specific events from the past its often when I’m deeply unhappy with what is going on around me and I’m just finding a way to distract myself from it or to make sense of it. That said I’m glad you had a piano teacher that was helpful to you.
I had a few teachers in my youth who I really looked up to and their interactions with me were really important to me. I try not to think about them because it makes me feel blue.
I never had any teachers who took a special interest in me or cared about me. I had plenty of cruel and or abusive teachers though.
