You do need to trust and have a rapport with the counselor, though. While it's true that counseling is more about fixing yourself than having someone fix you, the process doesn't work if you aren't willing to open up in the first place.

Yes, but you need to trust them as a professional, not as a personal confidante who shares your life experience.
