I can't really call this a fear.. technically I don't have fears regarding my therapist -- but my biggest apprehension is not being taken seriously in therapy.
It is different than with other people, only because in real life people almost unilaterally do take me seriously, and don't look at everything I say as a possible delusion. My ability to assess reality is pretty self-evident. Having it questioned so much still ends up being demeaning though.
