I've actaully brough this up to my T a few times, and she has been ever-so-patient in giving me reality checks around it. She asks me why I would think that she dislikes me. She wants me to give her concrete examples (most of the time I can't come up with anything), and she helps correct any misunderstandings. She very gently reminds me that it's mostly my own judgements about myself or based on past experiences. I'm sure it's quite frustrating to have to go through this almost every week, but she seems to take it in stride. She knows I have a lot of self-esteem issues. She even laughs at th stupid, dry jokes I make about it, but then she reminds me that I need to be gentler with myself...
Definitely something to address with your next T if you can (even if it's slowly).
Thanks for this!
