She may have doubts, but maybe feels they can be overcome with work?

Thanks growlycat, I think either of those are good guesses. It hurts a lot to think that she doesn't feel I have it. I feel very uncomfortable now and like I just want to cancel my next appointment. I suddenly feel like this means she might care about me less, like she'll be judging me as one of
those future Ts that she looks down on and is annoyed with in her profession.
I think she might feel this way not because I'm unstable, I'm confident about that. It's more because I am not very assertive at all, and people walk all over me. I'm not totally sure I could handle telling clients what they don't want to hear, which I know is an important part of the job. But at the same time I think I would be able to step up to the plate in a professional setting. I am young, and I hope to be able to learn these skills in the program that I go to.
But now I'm wondering if it's possible for me to develop these skills. And where does that leave me? This is what I want to do.
