Thing is, in my opinion, even if your life was the best best best, there could still be reasons why you feel this way.
You might not been abused, but how about being emotionally neglected, or simply not being seen for who you were as a child?
Or you had great family and friends but then biochemical reasons.
I do identify with telling oneself "I have no reason to feel this way" (I do that quite a bit too), but then my T also likes to say "Maybe trying to understand why is a distraction and what matters is
you do feel self hatred, you do feel miserable and that's a fact."
I definitely hope your T and you (and me and my T!) can continue to have that safe space to discuss the self hatred.
