But even with a few minutes left, she managed to avoid my question.

I told her when I started that I needed T to be a place where I didn't have to be perfect. Where I could share my problems without being judged. But now I feel like sharing those things has lead her to believe I can't succeed. Is it wrong for me to want my T to believe in me?

Now I feel all alone. What if she is mad with me? I feel so alone. What if she hates me? I feel like a failure. If I can't convince someone who is supposed to be on my side, how can I convince anyone else?
i dont think youre wrong at all for wanting your therapist to believe in you. but i do notice, reading this last posting, that you want therapy to be a place where you are allowed to be imperfect and you arent judged, but you are asking your therapist to pass judgment. its as though you cant feel comfortable in a place where you are safe to just unapologetically be who you are....is that the case?
