Do you think therapists have this too? when they listen and find it very difficult to symapthasie with you or feel you are too self-absorbed?
I hate to know that I pay them to listen to me, pay them to be 'on my side'

Yes, I think T’s have these types of thoughts cross their minds from time to time when they are listening to clients. They wouldn’t be human if they didn’t think these things. However, I would think that, over time, T’s become overall less judgmental of others in general. I think T’s work hard to be curious
about their client’s lives as opposed to judgmental.
