Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, I don't "know" that she judges me for shoplifting, but I "suspect and assume" that based on a few instances in our past sessions.

I know her judgment/personal opinion shouldn't even bother or matter to me. But it does (which I know is a problem), because I was very attached to her and our sessions felt friendly and personal to me, because I foolishly failed to see her as a professional but instead more of like an adult friend and invested a lot of emotional reliance and attachment to her. I guess her determination to end our sessions will probably do me good as it'll let me sort out my dependency issues.

And no of course she did not discontinue our sessions because she was judging me for shoplifting. It was because of a conflict-of-interest.
