If you "know" you're paranoid, just use your good logic (like you are) and "ignore" it. Your T does not hate you or she wouldn't see you/be your T, it's that simple. So, whenever you have the thought she hates you, tell yourself it isn't true.

The conspiracy thing is a little harder. I use to think people were talking about me at work :-) But think of that logically too; why would people be talking/conspiring about you? What makes you so "special" that people have nothing better to do than concentrate on you? And "conspiring" isn't very exact a word; exactly what are they planning, going to hurt you how? Call your imagination on using inexact words and ideas! Make it work hard and it will decide that's no fun and the bad thoughts/feelings will disappear or be manageable. Even if people were to be conspiring or talking about you, etc., what could you do about it? If people are talking about me behind my back, they're "allowed" to -- it doesn't have anything to do with "me" because I'm not involved. So, there's no point in thinking about it? It's like anxiety and being afraid something scary is going to happen. It hasn't yet so there's nothing to deal with yet so no "point" in worrying about it.
