Tormented past haunts me and I don't feel enough trust to confide in any one!
Question: I am currently in therapy and know what is bothering me but I don't trust anyone. My parents never listened to me and I love them but I would rather not divulge my problems to them while they look me in the face and tell me everything is fine and to be happy. I think i would feel better telling my physchologist but I can't find the trust how can I overcome these feelings of mistrust.

Stay in therapy then and let the therapist know everything you will not let others know. They are trained to deal with things you would not want others to deal with and it is confidential.
ADDITION:
You have the resources, use them or keep them to yourself. Your choice here, not ours.
Wow. I know the feeling. Some of the people who you are supposed to trust usually become the ones you don't trust. You have to tell someone to get closure on this thing that haunts you. I waited until over 30 years before I trusted someone enough to tell them what happened to me. After that, I felt so much better. I wish I had of done it earlier. Don't wait until this eats away like cancer. You should be able to live your live and be the person you are supposed to be. I hope this helps somewhat. Don't give up.
You need to have a group session wiht your psychologist and your parents so that they understand the seriousness of your problem. Ask the Dr. to arrange it.
Stay in therapy. Consider ECT.

I have been through a similar situation growing up. The best option is to try and talk this out with someone you can trust and confide in. I did not go and see a counselor or psychologist, I talked my problems out with people I could trust.
The best way (I Found) to move on from a haunting past is to find people you can trust. A good shoulder to cry on sometimes is all thats needed. Your parents are older and able to deal with their problems easier (Comes with age) If you think you would feel better telling your psychologist then do this. Understand that under privacy laws anything you divulge will be held in strict confidence. Please do not keep this bottled up or it will continue to haunt you for the rest of your life. I wish you all the best an good luck. Take care
I know what you mean. Parents sometimes fail to acknowledge that we are in pain and that we are having difficult emotions. What you probably need is the acknowledgement so that you know that they understand how you feel.
You have to ask yourself why there is no trust. Is it because of something that has happened to you in the past? Read more about this technique that can possibly help you overcome your feelings of insecurity http://www.attractionmindmap.com/eft-tap...
