During one session, my therapist and I were talking about my relationships to others and how it seems like I can't form lasting friendships. He said something to the effect of "I can't see that you're unlovable......unlikable".
I've pondered over what this seemingly Freudian slip actually meant. I'd like to think that, at the very least, he doesn't think I'm unlovable, which I guess is good enough for me, but that maybe he felt uncomfortable using that word. Funnily, if he hadn't paused and then changed the word, I probably wouldn't have even registered it's use.
