It's a different paradigm. You're worth it - is not in my vocabulary.

I can so relate to what you wrote! It doesn't make sense that I have these feelings about not feeling deserving or that my T will abandon me. She has done nothing but be supportive and she trusted me when everyone else in my life didn't trust me to be home (when I had SI).

She has always been there for me but I don't feel like "I'm worth it" or I find it hard to believe that I am "worthy" of my T's time. These feelings usually come up in general when I admire someone/a woman who is strong, smart and caring.
