I am scared of putting all my faults out in front of my therapist. Scared of his rejection and repulsion. I repulse myself. This sucks. Anyone else worry about this?

I think there is being careful not to blame others for our problems, and then there is beating up on ourselves for perceived mistakes. I know I've been guilty of the latter.
I think there's some value to be had in understanding potential external influences on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, especially those originating in childhood. There's a difference between blaming others and understanding how having grown up in a particular type of environment (for example) might lead to certain ways of being in adulthood.
