I worry about that too. I want T to like me, and I don't think that she ever will. I don't feel likeable or acceptable. She won't reassure me either. She says that whether she likes me or not is neither here nor there. I don't think that I ever can live up to her expectations.
If therapy brings those feelings out, then they probably also exist elsewhere in our lives though. It probably isn't just the therapist that we worry about liking us. When we work that out in therapy, then we can work out that feeling in the rest of life too.
